You simply divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.
Example: Your numerator is 6 and your denominator is 9. You divide them both by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor) which is 3, in this case. 6 divided by 3 equals 2 and 9 divided by 3 equals 3. They are in simplest form now because no number can go into 2 or 3 evenly.

How do you simplify fractional numbers?
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number to simplify a fraction. This number must be a common factor of the numerator and the denominator. For example, 50 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator of 350/400. By dividing each by 50, 350/400 can be simplified to 7/8.
How do you simplify the fraction?
first multiply the denominator to the mixed number. then,when you got the product, add the product to the numerator. then,when you got the sum, copy the sum as numerator and the denominator was the last denominator you used.
What number do you use if you want to simplify?
you can use factor of both the numerator and denominator, not a multiple, a factor
How to simplify fractions?
Find the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator, then divide the numerator by the GCF, and that is the new numerator. Divide the denominator by the GCF, and that is the new denominator.
If you have a fraction and both the numerator and the denominator are negative and you simplify it would the numerator and denominator stay negative?
The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.

How do you simplfiy a mixed number?
yes you can simplify a mixed number b but only if the numerator and denominator can be divided
How do you write a mixed number to a fraction?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator of the original fraction to get the numerator of your new fraction. The denominator stays the same as the original. Then you simplify into lowest terms.

How you simplify 12 over 6?
Evidently, 12 over 6 is an improper fraction and you can simplify this by dividing the denominator and numerator by 6 (a number that goes into both the denominator and numerator). This gives you 2/1, which as a mixed number is 2.It's 2 basically
Who do you turn a mixed number into an improper fraction in the simplest form?
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the the numerator to that total and put the new total over the original denominator. Simplify if necessary by taking the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
When can you simplify a fraction or a rational algebraic expression?
When the denominator is a factor of the numerator. If there is 2x in the numerator and denominator these terms cancel.
How do you simplify a mixed number when the numerator is bigger than the denominator?
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
If you have a fraction and both the numerator and the denominator are negative and you simplify it would the numerator and denominator stay negative?
The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.
How do you make mixed numbers in the simplest form?
You multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator. This is your numerator. You have the same denominator as you did before. Simplify. Example: 5 and 1/2. 5x2+1=11. 11/2. You can't simplify
