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.
