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
What is a reduced fraction where the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1?
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
How do you tell if a fraction can be reduced?
If the numerator and denominator have any common factors (other than 1), then both the numerator and denominator can be divided by the common factor, and the new fraction will be equivalent to the original fraction in reduced form.
A fraction is reduced to its simplest form when the numerator?
For a fraction to be in its simplest form, numerator and denominator must have no common factor.

How do you know when a fraction is reduced to its lowest term?
When the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is one.
What is a fraction in if its numerator and denominator have a GCF of 1?
A fraction in which the factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1 is known as a reduced, or simplified, fraction.68 is not reduced (or not simplified) because 68 =2⋅32⋅2⋅234 is a reduced, or simplified, fraction: 1⋅31⋅2⋅2
Can 560 1000s be reduced?
Yes, any time you have a numerator and a denominator that can be divided evenly by the same number it can be reduced. If you devide the numerator (560) and the denominator (1000) both by 8, you end up with 560/1000 = 70/125.
Can 18 over 45 reduce?
Yes it can. The highest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 9, so the fraction can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by 9 .
A fraction should be reduced when?
When the numerator and denominator have another common factor besides ' 1 '.
What is a odd fraction?
when the numerator is bigger than the denominator. E.g 5/2 or 7/2
