It is simplification.
It could be simplifying the fraction.
To divide the numerator and the denominator of a ratio by the same factor means to simplify or reduce the ratio. This is done by dividing both numbers in the ratio by their greatest common factor, which results in an equivalent ratio.
if you multiply a number by a certain factor and then divide it by the same factor you do not change anything. It is like multiplying by 1. If you multiply only the numerator you have changed the answer and it is not equivalent.

It means that the previous fraction was not in its lowest terms.
You look for common factors, and divide both numerator and denominator by the same factor. For example, 9/12 has the common factor 3, if you divide numerator and denominator by 3, you get 3/4.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero integer. You can divide the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero integer, but the integer has to be a factor of them both.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by a common factor. For example, 16/24 = 8/12 = 4/6 = 2/3 Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
