It is one way to simplify the ratio.
It is simplification.
It could be simplifying the fraction.
It gives an equivalent ratio is a simpler form.
It means that the previous fraction was not in its lowest terms.

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.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

That means that wherever you spot a numerator and denominator that have a common factor,you should should divide the numerator and denominator by their common factor.This operation doesn't change the value of an expression, but it 'simplifies' it. The operation isalso the heart and soul of measurement-unit conversions.It means that if you spot a numerator and denominator that have a common factor, then you should divide the numerator and denominator by their common factor.This operation doesn't change the value of an expression, but it 'simplifies' it. The operation is also the heart and soul of measurement-unit conversions.It means, if you can cancel, cancel. Otherwise don't.This usually refers to simplifying fractions that involve numbers or variables. If the same variable, or factor, appears in the top and in the bottom, you can eliminate it from both without changing the result.
It means: Divide numerator and denominator by the same number as many times as you can until they no longer have any common factor except '1'.
That then means that the fraction is in its simplest form.
