Best Answer

When reducing fractions to their lowest terms, the first step is finding the least common factor for the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) For example: 5/15: the factors of 5 are 1, 5. The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15. The LCM is 5, so divide 5 into 5 and 15. This reduces 5/15 to 1/3.
