for example
1. The largest number that goes exactly into both 8 and 12 is 4, so the Greatest Common Factor is 4.
2. Divide both top and bottom by 4: ÷ 48 = 2123÷ 4
And the answer is: 2/3

Do you need to simplify when adding fractions?
YES!!! When adding/subtracting fractions., the steps to take are #1 ; Convert to Improper(top heavy) fractions. #2 ; Bring to a common denominator #3 ; Bring the numerstors (top) to the equivalent values of the denomintor. #4 ' add/subtract the numertors #5; Place over the denominator. #6 ; Bring back ( simplify) to a mixed number. e.g. 5 3/5 + 7 2/3 #1 ; 28/5 + 23/3 #2 ; 5 x 3 = 15 #3 ; 28(3) + 23(5)) / 15 = (84 + 115) #4 ; 199 #5 ; 199/15 #6 ; 13 4/15 The answer !!!! Done (Hope that helps). For subtraction ; subtract the numerators at step #3/#4. Otherwise proceed as above. /
