Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 17 and 25:
LCD = LCM(17, 25) = 425
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (425):
100 is less than 289 (100 < 289)
As a result,
4/17
and 17/25
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 17 and 25:
LCD = LCM(17, 25) = 425
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (425):
4/17
= 100/425
and 17/25
= 289/425
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:100 is less than 289 (100 < 289)
As a result,
100/425
is less than 289/425
Therefore, 4/17
is less than 17/25
, 4/17
< 17/25
