How to completely reduce (simplify) the fraction 2/1 to the lowest terms (its simplest form, the smallest possible numerator and denominator)? Write the result as an improper fraction, as an integer, and as a percentage

Reduce (simplify) the fraction: 2/1

Detailed calculations below:

Fractions, brief introduction

A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar: 2/1


The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 2


The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 1


The fraction bar means that the two numbers divide themselves:
2/1 = 2 ÷ 1


Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the value of the fraction:
The value = 2 ÷ 1


Percentages, short introduction

'Percent, p%' means 'p 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).


The fraction 2/1 is an improper fraction (the denominator = 1).


An improper fraction - the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.


Rewrite the fraction

As an integer:

Any fraction with a denominator equal to 1 can be written as an integer by simply removing the denominator.

2/1 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2


As a percentage:

Multiply the fraction's value by the fraction 100/100

2 =


2 × 100/100 =


200/100 =


200%


In other words:

1) Calculate the value of the fraction.


2) Multiply this number by 100.


3) Add the percent sign, %.



The final answer

The final answer:
:: Written in three ways ::

As an improper fraction
(the denominator = 1):
2/1 = 2/1

As an integer:
2/1 = 2

As a percentage:
2/1 = 200%
