You factor numerator and denominator, and eliminate common factors. For example: 8/12 = (2x2x2) / (2x2x3). Eliminating two 2s from both the numerator and the denominator leaves you with 2/3.
Note that this is NOT the most efficient method. Especially for large numbers, Euclid's Algorithm is a much faster way to find the greatest common factor of two numbers.
When reducing a fraction, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Thus, 6/11 is the simplified fraction for 66/121 by using the GCD or HCF method. Thus, 6/11 is the simplified fraction for 66/121 by using the prime factorization method.
