No, you must always do the same thing to both sides of an equation or to the numerator and the denominator

4/6 = (2*2)/(3*2) = 2/3 [the common 2's in numerator and denominator cancel]
I am going to assume you mean a polynomial numerator and a monomial denominator, such as the following example (ax + bd)/x In this example, if you want to retain a single fraction, nothing can cancel. However, the following expression is equal to the first ax/x + bd/x With which you can reduce, leaving a + bd/x Hope this helps!
When the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is one.
It is simplification.

the term for the bottom number on a fraction is the denominator. The top number is the numerator. Example: in the fraction 2/3, the 2 is the numerator and the 3 is the denominator.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
first find the GCF of the number and then divide both numerator and denominator by .

The relative sizes of the numerator and denominator have nothing to do with the major axis.
When both numerator and denominator have only factors of one
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor.
It is simplification.
When the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is one.
"Denumerator" is the incorrect but commonly substituted spelling of "denominator". A denominator is the term in the lower part of a fraction, the value by which the numerator is divided. For example, the denominator of 1/2 is 2, and the numerator is 1.
