Simplest form for a fraction is to basically divide the numerator and denominator equally so that their HCF is 1.

For example, 24/100 simplified is (24/4)/(100/4)= 6/25.

Simplest form for a decimal as to omit the zeroes at the last places.

For example, 39.062500 simplified into its simplest form is 39.0625.

It refers to reducing a term or an equation to a form closest to a complete answer or the answer itself. For example, 12+3y+3+y is simpler if you reduce it to 15+4y. The fraction 12/24 is simpler if reduced to 1/2.


When a proper fraction is expressed in its simplest form, there are no common factors between the numerator and denominator, other than 1.
Simplist form is (example) 8/24 8 can go in 24 3 times and 8 goes into 8 once so it will be 1/3

Actually, in the easiest way u can do, 8 and 24 are both divisible by 2 so 4/12, but u can do it again so 2/6, and again 1/3.

The 'simplest form' of a fraction - is one that will not divide any further.

Take as an example the fractions 32/64, 33/99 and 25/100...

They will simplify all the way down to 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 respectively.

Simplifying fractions just makes them easier to calculate.

In the context of fractions it means the form in which the numerator and denominator have no common factors.

Thus the simplest form of 6/8 is 3/4
