Problem

Identify the large fraction number given below:

\$2/7, 5/6\$.

2

Step

The given fraction numbers are

\$2/7, 5/6\$

3

Hint

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

4

Step

The least common multiple of 7 and 6 is 42.

5

Step

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

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

6

Step

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

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

7

Clue

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

8

Step

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

9

Step

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

0.8333

10

Step

And also \$(12)/(42)\$ is approximately

0.2857

11

Step

So, the largest fraction among the given fractions is

\$5/6\$

12

Solution

Therefore the largest fraction number is \$5/6\$.
