Doing that makes the numbers smaller, so it is easier.
18/35 is the lowest term.
The term for the simplest form for fractions is "lowest terms". If the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1, then the fraction is in lowest terms.
In order to find the LCD when adding or subtracting fractions
1. change the dissimilar fractions to similar fractions by getting the L.C.D or the least common denominator. 2. add the whole numbers and write down the given denominator. 3. reduce the answer to lowest term if possible.
It is already in lowest terms.

300/1
The lowest term has already been reduced as far as it will go. It is not possible to reduce it further.

3/5
5/9
To reduce fractions to the lowest terms, you must find the highest number that will divide into both the numerator and the denominator. Divide both the numerator by the same number and the result will be a fraction reduced to its lowest terms. Example: to reduce 7/35 to its lowest terms, find the biggest number that will divide into both the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the number would be 7. Divide as explained above 7/7 = 1 (new numerator); 35/7 = 5 (new denominator) lowest term of 7/35 is 1/5. Another example: To reduce 6/9, the highest number would be 3, follow through as explained and the lowest term is 2/3.
45/100 = 9/20
