How do you reduce fractions using the GCF?
You divide the numerator (top) by the GCF to give you the numerator for the reduced fraction. You divide the denominator (bottom) by the GCF to give you the denominator of the reduced fraction. DONE! For example, 27/45 GCF(27, 45) = 9 Numerator of reduced fraction = 27/9 = 3 Denominator of reduced fraction = 45/9 = 5 So reduced fraction = 3/5
How do you put something into lowest terms?
To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF. Example: 30/42 The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6. 6 into 30 is 5 6 into 42 is 7 30/42 = 5/7 If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its lowest terms.
Denominator and numerator of 18 fifths?
Denominator = 5, numerator = 18
How do you simplify 8 over 20?
8/20 = 2/5 (You divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, which in this situation is 4)
What is the numerator and denominator of five twelfths?

How do you reduce fractions?
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both numbers by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.Example 30/42.The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6.The reduced fraction is 5/7.Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide the numerator and denominator by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.

What if there isn't a whole number when you divide a fraction?
24/5 / 5 = 24/5 * 1/5 = 24/25 When you divide, the second term must be turned into its reciprocal value ( numerator and denominator reverse) and then you multiply as you normally would. Numerator * Numerator and Denominator * Denominator.
Name the numerator and the denominator for the factor 5 7?
The numerator is 5.The denominator is 9.
How does finding the GCF help you simplify a fraction?
When adding and subtracting unlike fractions, it is necessary to find a least common denominator. It's the same process as finding an LCM. You can simplify a fraction by finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it.
How do you simplyfrracitons in 40 and 64?
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide each of them by it. 40/64 = 5/8
Denominator and numerator of 18 fifths?
Denominator = 5, numerator = 18
What is 25 30 in simplest form?
25/30 is 5/6 in simplest form. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 5.
Why is it easier to divide the numerator and denominator by the gcf?
A fraction like 1680/2016 is unwieldy. If you know that the GCF is 336, you can reduce it to a more manageable 5/6.
