Relatively Prime – if the greatest common factor of 2 numbers is “1”, then the numbers
are called “relatively prime”
Equivalent Fraction – fractions that represent the same amount
Numerator – the top number in a fraction
Denominator – the bottom number in a fraction
Simplest Form – when the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is
“1”; when both the numerator and denominator cannot be divided by the same number
