Divide the numerator and the denominator by a common factor.
For example, 16/24 = 8/12 = 4/6 = 2/3
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Find the highest common factor (HCF) of the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction. Divide both these by the HCF. The result will be the fraction in its simplest form.
An alternative to finding the HCF is to find ANY common factor and divide. But then you have to check the result for a common factor again and again, until the common factor is 1.
If both the numerator and the denominator can divide into each other you divide the bottom into the top giving you a smaller fraction which still means the same thing.
Look for common factors in the numerator and denominator. Divide top and bottom by whatever common factors there are.
you can not simplify fractions when one of the ( whole or part) numbers can not be divided by and thing like 11 over 17 could NOT be simplified
yep hope this answers it question
4/10 = _ +5 6/9=_ _______
You can use models by doing simplify
6.6/0.2
They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals. They are useful in reducing fractions and to simplify radicals.
You can either simplify then add or add then simplify your answer
You can simplify fractions, sometimes, but you can never simplify whole numbers.
no
because when we simplify fractions it will give you the correct answer and that is the rule.
you can not simplify fractions when one of the ( whole or part) numbers can not be divided by and thing like 11 over 17 could NOT be simplified
Simplify them.

In math people simplify fractions because its easier to look at.
Finding the GCF will help you to simplify fractions.
Yes, because you can simplify the fractions then check the Cross products
