How do you simplify (91/2 * 92/3)1/6?

Answers
Sorry there was a typo in the first sentence.  You want a common denominator of 6

You want the fractions to have a common denominator of For the first fraction you want to turn 2 into 6.  To do this you simplify multiply by 3, so this is what you do to the numerator (91).  To get from 3 to 6 you multiply by two, so do this to that numerator and you get 184.Therefore you should end up with: (273/6*184/6)1/6

1. Collect together all numerator and denominator expressions(91 x 92) / (2 x 3 x 6)2. Break down larger numbers in to their smaller (ideally prime) factorsHere 91 = 7 x 13and 92 = 2 x 2 x 23also 6 = 2 x 3now place back in and cancel any terms possible(7 x 13 x 2 x 2 x 23) / (2 x 2 x3)= (7 x 13 x 23) / 3= 2093 / 3 = 697 and 2/3

Hi Sam, If you follow the rules of BIDMAS, everything in the brackets should be simplified first. Within the brackets you should simplify by doing each seperate division and then multiplying them - 91/2 is 45.5, 92/3 is 30.66, multiply them to get 1395.33. Then you want to time this by 1/6 to get 232,55,

(91/2 x 92/3)/6= ((91 x 92) / (2 x 3)) / 6= (91 x 92 / 6 ) x 1/6= (91 x 92) / 36= 8372 / 36=2093/9                (which is also equals to 232.56)

Using BIDMAS, first work out what is in the brackets. multiplying 91/2 and 92/3 gives 8372/6 (multiplying numerators together and denominators together). Now all is left to do is multiplying 8372/6 by 1/6 which gives 8372/12. Lastly, we find that 8372 and 12 have the common factor 4; so dividing both by 4 gives the simplified fraction 2093/3.

BIDMAS = Brackets, Indices, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract So first multiply what is in the brackets. (91 * 92)    =  8372(2 * 3)                6Now times this result with what is outside the bracket. 8372    *    1        =  8372   6             6              36We can simplify this to 232  5          or    2093          9                    9
