Best Answer

The best way to break down a number (from the perspective of arithmetic!) is to write it as a product of its prime factors. For instance,

24 = 2 x 3 x 4

where x is the multiplication operator and of course 2, 3, and 4 are all prime numbers.

How can you find the simplest form of a fraction?

by breaking it down if 8 16 was your fraction then you would break it down to 4 8 because that is what is half of those to numbers, then to 2 4, and then to 1 2. but when both of the numbers or even one of them cant keep breaking down then that's a simplified as it can get. GOOD LUCK
