You search for common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Then you divide numerator and denominator by this common fraction. For example, in the fraction 9/12, the common factor is 3. If you divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 3, you get 3/4, which is an equivalent fraction.
You can be sure only if it is not a top heavy fraction. For example, 12/3 has a composite numerator and a prime denominator. But its simplest from is 4.
It is: 8/12
A fraction consists of a numerator (on top) divided by a denominator (on the bottom). Some times these two have a common factor - an integer (greater than 1) that will divided them both without remainder. To simplify a fraction, you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor. For example, if the fraction is 48/60 The GCF of 48 and 60 is 12. 12 will divide both evenly and no number laregr than 12 will. So, dividing the numerator and denominator by 12 give: (48/12) / (60/12) = 4/5 So the original fraction, 48/60, is its simplest form is 4/5.
It is: 6.0, 6/1 or 12/2
You search for common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Then you divide numerator and denominator by this common fraction. For example, in the fraction 9/12, the common factor is 3.

You are 12/32
You look whether there is a common factor between the numerator and the denominator. If there is, divide the numerator and the denominator by this common factor. When there are no more common factors, the fraction is in simplest terms. Example: the fraction is 9/12. The common factor is 3. If you divide 9 by 3 and 12 by 3, you get 3/4. Since there are no more common factors, the fraction is in simplest terms.
For example you have 5/25. You pick a number for example 10. you multiply the denominator by 10 and that's the new denominator and you would multiply the numerator by 10 also and that would be your new numerator. So in this case it would be 50/250. Now you don't have to multiply them by 10 but you do have multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number that you pick.
Cannot be done.
It is: 6.0, 6/1 or 12/2
There is no direct relation between the two.For example,1/12 has infinitely many3/12 has two4/12 has infinitely many6/12 has one.
You can make a fraction simpler by finding a number that is divisible by both numerator and denominator. For Example: 4/12 both 4 and 12 are divisible by 4 so, 4/12 ÷ 4/4 4÷4=1 12÷4=3 so the simplified fraction is is 1/3
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor as for example 12/16 = 3/4
