How to simplify fractions

There are some different ways to simplify or reduce a fraction. Run across some examples below:

Method 1 - Keep Dividing by a Modest Number

First by dividing both the tiptop and bottom numbers of the fraction by the same number, and echo this if necessary until it is impossible to split. Begin dividing by a small-scale number like ii, 3, 5, 7. For instance,

Simplify the fraction 12/60

First separate both (numerator/denominator) past 2 to go vi/30.
Divide both of those by ii to go three/fifteen, then,
Split up both of those by 3 to go 1/5.

In the fraction 1/5, 1 is only divisible by itself, and 5 is not divisible by other numbers than itself and one, so the fraction has been simplified every bit much every bit possible. No further reduction is possible, so the answer is i/5.

Method 2

To reduce a fraction to lowest terms (too called its simplest form), simply divide both the numerator and denominator past the Greatest Common Gene (GCF or GCD). For case, 2/iii is in everyman form, only 4/6 is not in lowest form (the GCD of 4 and half-dozen is 2) and four/6 tin be expressed as 2/iii. Yous can do this considering the value of a fraction is not changed if both the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided past the aforementioned number (other than zero).
