The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. When applied to a numerator and a denominator, it is a way to reduce equivalent fractions to their simplest form. The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3. If you divide 6 and 9 by 3, you get 2 and 3. 6/9 = 2/3 The GCF of 2 and 3 is 1. If the GCF of a numerator and a denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
It's the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into both of them.

If the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
find a number that does into the top and bottom number evenly. then divide. when it cant be divided any more then it is in simplest form.....

Yes, any time you have a numerator and a denominator that can be divided evenly by the same number it can be reduced. If you devide the numerator (560) and the denominator (1000) both by 8, you end up with 560/1000 = 70/125.
The greatest common factor is the largest number that is evenly divisible by both numbers, so if you divide both numerator and denominator by GCF, the numerator and denominator will be the smallest integers possible, and still be an equivalent fraction.
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.
