Identify the large fraction number given below
\$2/7 , 5/6\$

The given fraction numbers are

\$2/7 , 5/6\$

First, we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 7 and 6 is

42

For \$ 2/7\$ multiply both the numerator and denominator by 6

\$ ( 2 times 6)/(7 times 6) = 12/42 \$

For \$ 5/6 \$ multiply both the numerator and denominator by 7

\$ ( 5 times 7)/(6 times 7) = 35/42 \$

The fractions have the same denominator, so you can simply compare the numerators. The fraction with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.

In this case, \$35/42\$ has a larger numerator than \$12/42\$, so \$35/42\$ is the larger fraction.

You can also convert them to decimals \$35/42\$ is approximately

0.8333

And also \$12/42\$ is approximately

0.2857

So, the largest fraction among the given fractions \$2/7\$ and \$5/6\$ is

\$ 35/42 \$

Therefore the largest fraction number is

\$ 5/6 \$
