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.
Find the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator, then divide the numerator by the GCF, and that is the new numerator. Divide the denominator by the GCF, and that is the new denominator.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCf is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
first find the GCF of the number and then divide both numerator and denominator by .
If you divide by the GCF, you will only have to do it once to produce the simplest form.
how to find simplest form is: 1. Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 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
Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCF.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
-- Find any common factor of the numerator and denominator, and divide numerator and denominator by it. -- Keep doing that until the numerator and denominator no longer have any common factor except ' 1 '. The fraction is then in its simplest form.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
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.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it.
