If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common can the fraction be simplified?
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.
Can a fraction that is in simplified form ever have an even number in the numerator and an even number in the denominator?
No. If it has an even number in the numerator and the denominator, then both are divisible by 2, and the fraction is NOT simplified.
How do you know if a fraction is simplified?
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.
Can four fifths be simplified?

When is a fraction irrational?
