You divide the numerator (top) by the GCF to give you the numerator for the reduced fraction. You divide the denominator (bottom) by the GCF to give you the denominator of the reduced fraction. DONE! For example, 27/45 GCF(27, 45) = 9 Numerator of reduced fraction = 27/9 = 3 Denominator of reduced fraction = 45/9 = 5 So reduced fraction = 3/5
To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF. Example: 30/42 The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6. 6 into 30 is 5 6 into 42 is 7 30/42 = 5/7 If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its lowest terms.
Denominator = 5, numerator = 18
8/20 = 2/5 (You divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, which in this situation is 4)
The numerator is 5 (five) and the denominator is 12 (twelve).

Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide both numbers by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.Example 30/42.The GCF of 30 and 42 is 6.The reduced fraction is 5/7.Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. If the GCF is greater than 1, divide the numerator and denominator by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.

24/5 / 5 = 24/5 * 1/5 = 24/25 When you divide, the second term must be turned into its reciprocal value ( numerator and denominator reverse) and then you multiply as you normally would. Numerator * Numerator and Denominator * Denominator.
The numerator is 5.The denominator is 9.
When adding and subtracting unlike fractions, it is necessary to find a least common denominator. It's the same process as finding an LCM. You can simplify a fraction by finding the GCF of the numerator and denominator and dividing them both by it.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide each of them by it. 40/64 = 5/8
Denominator = 5, numerator = 18
25/30 is 5/6 in simplest form. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 5.
A fraction like 1680/2016 is unwieldy. If you know that the GCF is 336, you can reduce it to a more manageable 5/6.
8/20 = 2/5 (You divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, which in this situation is 4)
The numerator is 5 (five) and the denominator is 12 (twelve).
