Standard Form of Rational Numbers

Standard Form of Rational Numbers:

A rational number is said to be in the standard form, if its denominator is a positive integer and the numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.

Example: Express -9/24 in standard form.

Solution:  (-9)/24

The denominator of the rational number −9/24

is positive. In order to express it in standard form, we divide its numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor of 9 and 24 is 3.

Dividing the numerator and denominator of −9/24

by 3, we get

−9/24

= [(−9)÷3]/[24÷3] = −3/8

Thus, the standard form of −9/24 is −3/8

.
