A common factor in a fraction, in non-simplified form, is an integer greater than 1 which evenly divides the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
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. When applied to a numerator and a denominator, it is a way to reduce equivalent fractions to their simplest form. The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3. If you divide 6 and 9 by 3, you get 2 and 3. 6/9 = 2/3 The GCF of 2 and 3 is 1. If the GCF of a numerator and a denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

According to the next question on my brother's worksheet...Simplest Form.
When no whole number will not go into both the numerator and the denominator evenly.
If the numerator divides evenly by the denominator, simply do that. When working with algebra you can multiply both sides by the denominator.
A fraction is considered simplified or reduced when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In other words, there is no integer greater than 1 that divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. If there are common factors, the fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
Then the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
