The same numerator as which numerator and the same denominator as which denominator?
Yes. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime, the fraction is in simplest form. The reason is that each number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For that reason, it is not possible for the numerator and denominator to have any factors (other than 1) in common.
Everything has something in common, even if it's just one. When the numerator and the denominator have a GCF of 1, the fraction is said to be in its simplest form.
The the fraction is in its lowest terms
simplest form
They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.
You look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator, then divide both the numerator and the denominator by that common factor.
If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction have a common factor (except for '1'), divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. The fraction is in the simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
If the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than one, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
If the numerator and denominator are prime numbers and not equal then they don't have common factors (except 1 which would be a common factor even if the numerator and denominator were prime numbers).
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
1 and 2
3/35 is the simplest form. Why? Numerator factors: 3. Denominator factors: 5 and 7. None of the numerator and denominator factors are the same and therefore cannot cancel each other out.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
Fractions can be simplified when the numerator and denominator have a common factor in them. If both the numerator and denominator have common factors, then we can cancel these factors out. So the simplest for of 18/56 is 9/28.
