An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered). [1]
An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is 1 / 3 , 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n, whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.
In the last two of the five versions of "Promenade" from Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, 7 4 is mixed irregularly with other metres: (4th Promenade) 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4, with a single 3 4 bar at the end; (5th Promenade) four pairs of regularly alternating 5 4 and 6 4, then an irregular mixture of 5 4, 6 4, and 7 4 to the end.
