Simplify Fractions FAQ
Common questions about reducing fractions to lowest terms.
Step 1: Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of numerator and denominator.
Step 2: Divide both by the GCF.
Step 3: Check — if GCF is now 1, you're done.
Example: 18/24 → GCF(18,24) = 6 → 18÷6 = 3, 24÷6 = 4 → 3/4.
Step 2: Divide both by the GCF.
Step 3: Check — if GCF is now 1, you're done.
Example: 18/24 → GCF(18,24) = 6 → 18÷6 = 3, 24÷6 = 4 → 3/4.
12/16 simplified = 3/4. GCF(12, 16) = 4. Divide both: 12 ÷ 4 = 3, 16 ÷ 4 = 4.
24/36 simplified = 2/3. GCF(24, 36) = 12. 24 ÷ 12 = 2, 36 ÷ 12 = 3.
Same process — divide numerator and denominator by their GCF. Then convert to a mixed number if needed. Example: 18/12 → GCF = 6 → 3/2 → mixed number: 1 and 1/2.
No — if GCF(numerator, denominator) = 1, the fraction is already in lowest terms and cannot be simplified further. Examples: 3/4, 5/7, 11/13, 7/9 are all already fully simplified.
