No. If there are larger common factors, use them instead. It will be much quicker. The most efficient is to use the highest common factor (HCF).
For example, to simplify 70/100
you could use the prime factors 2 and 5 to do
70/100 = 35/50 = 7/10
or
you could simply go for 10, as a common factor so that 70/100 = 7/10.
