The GCF is 2.

You look for common factors in numerator and denominator. If you find one, you divide both numerator and denominator by the common factor. For example, 8/14 has the common factor 2; if you divide top and bottom by 2, you get 6/7.
seeing as both the numerator and the denominator are the same you simple just add the numerators then the denominator then that your answer.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just exchange numerator and denominator.
5/7 is a fraction in its simplest form. To create an equivalent fraction it is necessary to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. The opposite is also true. To reduce an equivalent fraction to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same integer. 20/28 is an equivalent fraction of 5/7. It is possible to reduce 20/28 to 10/14 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, but that is not the simplest form. 10/14 can be reduced to 5/7 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2 again. To ensure that an equivalent fraction is reduced to its simplest form, it is necessary to divide by the largest factor that is part of both of them. Another term for this the Greatest Common Factor, or GCF.
by dividing or multiplying the numerator and the denominator of a fraction with the same numberex:* 1/2 = (1 x 5)/(2 x 5) = 5/10(multiples both numerator and denominator with 5)1/2 and 5/10 are equivalent fractions* 14/35 = (14:7)/(35:7) = 2/5(divide both numerator and denominator with common factor of 14 and 35)14/35 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions
14/32 = 7/16 when simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF which is 2
14/16 = 7/8 by dividing the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor which is 2
To simplify a fraction, the numerator and denominator must both be divisible by the same number (factor).Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF (greatest common factor). For example, to simplify the fraction 14/49, divide the numerator and the denominator by 7 to obtain the simplified fraction 2/7.In the simplest form of a fraction, the numerator and denominator are relatively prime or co-prime, i.e. they have no common prime factors, their GCF is 1.
Divide numerator and denominator by 2:14/10 = 7/5 or (1 and 2/5)
6/14=3/7divide both the top(numerator) and bottom(denominator) by 2.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.22/7 = 44/14
