Divide both the numeration and the denominator by their greatest common factor.
Finding those numbers which divide exactly (with no remainder) into all of the two or more numbers.
The GCD is found by finding all the prime numbers that divide into each that multiplied together give the original number.
Take out the common factor, which in this case is 4x2. Divide each of the terms by this common factor. 12x2 - 4x3 = 4x2(3+x)
You find a common factor for the numerator and the denominator and divide both of them by this factor. Repeat until the common factor is 1 - that is, the two are coprime.Alternatively, you can find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and divide them by it. This method requires more effort in finding the GCF but there is only one set of divisions.

It is called simplification [by cancelling common factors].
first you have to find the common denominator and make the 2 fractions denominators the same then you add them and divide them

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. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by a common factor. For example, 16/24 = 8/12 = 4/6 = 2/3 Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
YE you do divide by 2
Divide the number by successive integers 1, 2, 3, etc. Eventually, you'll find all the factors.
Divide the number correct by the total possible.
