Try working with your prime and composite chart from unit 1. Also, use divisibility rules.

My hint is to start by finding which numbers do not work because the fractions will not be in lowest terms.

I think what you should do is count by the highest number at the top of the fraction.(hint)

You can immediatly rule out any number that is divisible by 2,3, or 5, then use guess and check for the rest.

Start by thinking of prime numbers between 20 and 80.

Think of numbers that are not divisible by 2,3 and 5(that are composite).

If you didn't bring home your math journal, you can always make your own prime and composite chart.

Don't forget to cross out any prime numbers! It will reduce the possibilities a lot.

I got it. Try what VP said about ruling out the numbers that are divisible by 2,3, and 5.

It helps a lot if you list the numbers 20 through 80 and cross out the ones that are divisible by 2,3,and 5, since the fractions are in simplest form.
