The one-step method is to find the highest common denominator HCF of the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) of the fraction and divide both of them by the HCF.

If you don't know how to find the HCF just find any number that divides both the numerator and the denominator and divide both by that number. Then repeat and keep repeating until there is no number (other than 1 ) that divides both.

So 8/10

HCF(8, 10) = 2

Therefore, simplified 8/10 = 8/2 divided by 10/2 = 4/5
