reducing it
If you want to write a:b as a fraction, make a the numerator and b the denominator. You get a/b.
A denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. It is also the same thing as the divisor in a division problem. For example: in the fraction 1/2, 2 is the denominator; the mathematical expression of the fraction 1/2 is the same as the mathematical expression of 1 divided by 2. It can also be expressed in ratio form (i.e. 1:2).
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.
You get a denominator of the form (2^a)*(5^b) where a and b are non-negative integers.

To reduce a fraction to 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.
An improper fraction is already in it's simplest form as long as in the fraction part the denominator is bigger then the numerator.

first you look at fraction and then you divide the numerator with denominator.
You get a denominator of the form (2^a)*(5^b) where a and b are non-negative integers.
By dividing its numerator by its denominator as for example 3/4 = 0.75
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator of the fraction. Divide both numbers by the GCF. What is left is the fraction in its simplest form.
To write 3.2 as a fraction, we can convert it to its equivalent fraction form by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10. This gives us 32/10. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, we get the simplified fraction 16/5.
