Euclid is the Greek mathematician who invented an easier way of finding the GCF.
Yes there is
It is preferable because this is the purpose, the ultimate aim, of simplification. You can only simplify to the extent that the greatest common factor will allow. You can do so in one step by finding the greatest common factor, or you can do so in multiple steps by first dividing by a lower factor (when you are finished you will see that all the lower factors multiply to give the gcf). Sometimes it is easier to do the task in multiple steps rather than searching for the gcf, but if you can identify the gcf then your simplification will be done in just one step.
Yes.
There are a few steps to rewriting expressions. The steps of rewriting expressions are finding the value of the letter and then using the common factor.

Finding the LCM will help you add and subtract fractions. Finding the GCF will help you reduce fractions.
Gcf you use when you are finding the greatest factor for the numbers. Lcm you use when you are finding the smallest multiple in the numbers factors
Finding the GCF will help you to simplify fractions.
The answer depends on what you are trying to achieve. there is not much point in first finding the GCF if all that you want to do is to cook some scrambled eggs!
Example: 30 and 42 Factor them. 2 x 3 x 5 = 30 2 x 3 x 7 = 42 Select the common factors. 2 x 3 = 6, the GCF

Simplifying fractions and finding the GCF is easy. All you have to do is put the fraction into simplest form and then put in a whole number.
Finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
listing method , factor tree
Finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it will give you the simplest form of the fraction.
