Best Answer

A lowest term is a fraction expressed in the smallest possible numbers. Large fractions are reduced to simplify. For example, 2/4 expressed in lowest terms is 1/2. To find the lowest term, divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For 2/4, 2 divided by 2 is 1, and 4 divided by 2 is 2. Therefore, the lowest term is 1/2.
