Question from David, a student: What is the prime factor form of 7/5? |
David,
I would have said that was the prime factor form. It's in lowest terms and each number is (though trivially) fully factored.
To take a less trivial example, $\large \frac{24}{14}$ would become $\large \frac{3 \times 2^3}{7}.$
Good Hunting!
