Yes, as long as you do it to the denominator too. Say you have 10/15. To simplify the numerator you have to find something you can divide both by 10 and 15, which in this case, will be 5. So 10 by 5 is 2 and 15 by 5 is 3. So your answer would be 2/3.

If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common can the fraction be simplified?
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
Can a fraction that is in simplified form ever have an even number in the numerator and an even number in the denominator?
No. If it has an even number in the numerator and the denominator, then both are divisible by 2, and the fraction is NOT simplified.
How do you know if a fraction is simplified?
A fraction is considered simplified or reduced when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In other words, there is no integer greater than 1 that divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. If there are common factors, the fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
Can four fifths be simplified?
No, if the numerator (4) is 1 number away from the denominator (5) it means it is simplified !
When is a fraction irrational?
If, in its simplified form. its numerator or denominator (or both) are irrational.
What is one fifth simplified by?
Trick question, it is already simplified. If the numerator is one is can not be simplified any more.

Can you simplify a fraction that has a prime numerator?
It is possible. 3/15 has a prime numerator (3) but can be simplified to 1/5.
Can a numerator of a fraction be simpilfied?
Not without the denominator being simplified as well.
When is a fraction irrational?
If, in its simplified form. its numerator or denominator (or both) are irrational.
Can eighteen over fifty be simplified as a mixed number?
No. Only when fractions have a numerator bigger that their denominator can they be simplified as a mixed number.
Can 3 over ninety-six be simplified?
Yes, both numerator and denominator can be divided by 3. It can be simplified to 1/32.
What is the definition of simplified fractions?
A simplified fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator do not have any common factor (other than 1).
What is a fraction in if its numerator and denominator have a GCF of 1?
A fraction in which the factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1 is known as a reduced, or simplified, fraction.68 is not reduced (or not simplified) because 68 =2⋅32⋅2⋅234 is a reduced, or simplified, fraction: 1⋅31⋅2⋅2
