It isn't always strictly necessary; but imagine putting the result of some complicated calculations as 335/670. Anybody might ask, "why didn't you write this as 1/2?" It is usually preferable, easier to understand, if the result is as simple as possible. In the case of fractions, this means reducing the fraction by taking out any common factors.
