Detailed calculations below:
Fractions, brief introduction.
A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar: 1/6
The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 1
The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 6
The fraction bar means that the two numbers divide themselves:
1/6 = 1 ÷ 6
Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the value of the fraction:
The value = 1 ÷ 6
Percentages, short introduction
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100
Note:
The fraction 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1
Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value will not change.
The fraction cannot be further reduced (simplified).
It is already completely reduced (simplified) to its lowest terms (it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator).
1/6 is a proper fraction.
A proper fraction - the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
