Question

How do u rewrite a fraction using a prime base? How do u rewrite 1/8 and -1/125 using a prime base? Please explain!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I believe that you have to reduce the fraction to the prime fractions that make up the fraction

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 all of the 1/2s are prime because no lower number can go into the 2.

1/5 x 1/5 x 1/5 = 1/125
