'Cancel a fraction , is sometimes referred to as 'cancelling down.
As an example take the fraction ' 12/18'.
Since both '12' and '18' are even, they will divide by '2'
Hence
12/18 = 6/9
'12/18 has been 'cancelled down by 2' to make it 6/9 .
We now notice that both '6' & '9' are multiples of '3'. So both numbers will divide by '3'
So dividing by '3'
6/9 = 2/3
It has been 'cancelled down by '3''.
Since both '2' & '3' are prime numbers , this will NOT cancel down any further.
So 12/18 = 2/3
NB An appreciation of the multiplication tables is needed.
NNB 'Cancelling down' is were botyh top and bottom have common factors to divide into.
