When a fraction is in simplest form, then the fraction can not be reduced anymore. For example: 5/25, can be reduced to 1/5 because 5 can go into 5 once, and it can go into 25 5 times (5x5=25)

What do you do when you are dividing a fraction?

When dividing a fraction you leave the first fraction as it is and you change the second fraction into a reciprocal (flip the fraction). Once you have changed the second fraction into a reciprocal, then you would simply *multiply the two fractions together. Once you multiply the two fractions then that would be your final answer. Dont forget to simplify! And remember if the fractions are mixed numbers before you do anything you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions first! hope this helps! *If you dont know how to multiply fractions then thats a different question
