Don't divide, factor! ( that is the way I was taught )
3/12
factor out a 3
3*1/3*4
as 3 appears in the numerator and denominator at least once it can be eliminated
1/4
======simplest form
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, 18/20 is equal to 9/10 or nine tenths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, 16/30 is equal to 8/15 or eight fifteenths.
The equivalent fraction for 0.60 is 60/100, In simplest form it is 3/5.
30/36 = 5/6 Here you reduce the fraction to the simplest form by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 (the greatest common factor of 30 and 36). You are essentially dividing by 1 when you divide by 6/6, so the fractions are equivalent.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4, 8/60 is equal to 2/15 or two fifteenths.

It is: 33/20 as a fraction in its simplest form
0.875 is itself a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction in its simplest form. Its equivalent, in simplest rational form, is 7/8.
By dividing its numerator and its denominator by their highest common factor.
30/36 = 5/6 Here you reduce the fraction to the simplest form by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 (the greatest common factor of 30 and 36). You are essentially dividing by 1 when you divide by 6/6, so the fractions are equivalent.
If the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1 then it is in simplest form.
