If one unit is in the numerator and one unit is in the denominator then they can cancel out.
By dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF
No, you must always do the same thing to both sides of an equation or to the numerator and the denominator
The simple way: multiply the numerators to get the numerator, multiply the denominators to get the denominator. To get the preferred answer cancel common factors in the new numerator and denominator. But this can be tricky.
The denominator must contain the unit that you wish to cancel in the numerator of the other number.
When the denominator is a factor of the numerator. If there is 2x in the numerator and denominator these terms cancel.
If one unit is in the numerator and one unit is in the denominator then they can cancel out.
By dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF
No, you must always do the same thing to both sides of an equation or to the numerator and the denominator
When the numerator and denominator are not co-prime.
The simple way: multiply the numerators to get the numerator, multiply the denominators to get the denominator. To get the preferred answer cancel common factors in the new numerator and denominator. But this can be tricky.
The denominator must contain the unit that you wish to cancel in the numerator of the other number.
Factor the numerator and denominator, and then cancel any common factors.
Fractions can be simplified when the numerator and denominator have a common factor in them. If both the numerator and denominator have common factors, then we can cancel these factors out. So the simplest for of 18/56 is 9/28.

A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
