Examples: Fill in the missing parts of the solution in simplifying the given expression.

NEGATIVE INTEGRAL EXPONENTS

Examples: Fill in the missing parts of the solution in simplifying the given expression.

Note: Even though, it has non-integral exponents, the laws for exponents holds TRUE.

Examples:
FRACTIONS
-A fraction represents equal parts of a whole or collection.
When we divide a whole into equal parts, each part is a fraction of the whole.
-A fraction is a numerical quantity that is not a whole number (0.5 or ½)
SIMPLIFICATION of a Fraction
A fraction is written in its simplified form if the numerator and the denominator have no common
factor. In other words, it is impossible to find a number that is a divisor to both the numerator and the
denominator in a fraction’s simplified form.
Example:
120
The fraction is not written in its simplified form since there are numbers that divide both 120 and
200
200. The largest common divisor (factor) of 120 and 200 is 40, where

Example:
A simplification can be done in many steps if we do not recognize at once the largest common factor for
the numerator and the denominator.
