Sometimes it can, and sometimes it can't. For example:

7/9 can not be reduced - there are no common factors.

9/15 can be reduced - the common factor is 3.

How do you reduce fractions using the GCF?

You divide the numerator (top) by the GCF to give you the numerator for the reduced fraction. You divide the denominator (bottom) by the GCF to give you the denominator of the reduced fraction. DONE! For example, 27/45 GCF(27, 45) = 9 Numerator of reduced fraction = 27/9 = 3 Denominator of reduced fraction = 45/9 = 5 So reduced fraction = 3/5
