The fraction will be in its simplest form when the highest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1
A fraction is in its simplest form if its denominator (bottom half of the fraction) and numerator (top half of the fraction) cannot be divided by the same number to equal a fraction with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator. [When you 'cancel' a fraction out (divide it to get a smaller fraction, closer to the simplest form) you must do the same sum to the numerator AND the denominator, so you must be able to divide the numerator by the same number you divide the numerator by, as the fraction cannot contain decimals or remainders (it must be a whole number] e.g. 3/6 is NOT in its simplest form, as you can divide both numbers by 3, meaning that the simplest form would be 1/3 1/3 is in its simplest form, as although you could divide the denominator by 3, you cannot divide the numerator by 3 to equal a whole number.
7 1/5 ........... easy............... a mixed number fraction..... how simple.. FOR A TEN YEAR OLD I MEAN!!!!
what is 10.475 as a fraction in simplest form
0.288 as a fraction in simplest form is 36/125.
The fraction two-thirds is already in its simplest form.
If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
4/10 = 2/5 as a fraction in its simplest form
Since the numerator of the fraction is prime, you know that the fraction 13/15 is in its simplest form.
you really don't know this?
If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
A sum can't be simplified, unless you are adding like terms.

When the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1.
Since the denominator of the fraction is prime, you know that 14/23 is already expressed in its simplest form.
Simplest form
The sum of a fraction? Well, to find the sum of the fraction all you do is divide both top and bottom numbers.
You know a fraction is in its simplest form when neither the numerator (the number on top) nor the denominator (the number on bottom) have any prime factors in common, in other words, when their GCF is 1.
