Question

17/7 simplified as a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:
`2(3)/(7)`

Step-by-step explanation:

It is in the simplified form already. Perhaps you mean simplifying this fraction into mixed form.

First, start by dividing the numerator by the denominator to find the GCF.

`17/7's\ GCF\ is\ 2.`

Also, it can be considered that the highest number you can multiply 7 by to get close to 17 is 2. That is 14. If we try 7*3, that is 21 and too high. So the 2 will be the number that sits outside the fraction

Next, we need to use the 17 in the numerator and subtract by that 14, which we got from the number of times we can divide 17 by 7. We get 3, the numerator.

Now, we keep the denominator the same, the 7, and put all the pieces together:
`2(3)/(7)`.

Answer 2

Explanation:

you cannot further simplify 17/7. so, the answer remains 17/7
