Step 1: Factor both the numerator and denominator down to prime factors:
34 = 2 * 17
33 = 3 * 11

Step 2: Calculate the greatest common factor, GCF (also called greatest common divisor, GCD), by taking all the common prime factors of the numerator and denominator, by the lowest powers:gcd(2 * 17; 3 * 11) = 1
Fraction's numerator and denominator are coprime numbers (no common prime factors), so the fraction cannot be reduced (simplified).

Step 3: Improper fraction, rewrite:34 : 33 = 1 and remainder = 1 =>
34/33 = (1 * 33 + 1) / 33 = 1 + 1/33 = 1 1/33 as a mixed number (also called mixed fraction).1 + 1 : 33 = 1.030303030303 as a decimal number.::::: Final answer :::::
:: written in three ways ::

Positive improper fraction:
34/33 = 34/33

Mixed number (also called mixed fraction):
34/33 = 1 1/33

Decimal number:
34/33 = 1.030303030303


hope this helps!! :)
