You find the largest number that will go into each and divide each by that number.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor as for example 12/16 = 3/4
If the numerator and denominator are prime numbers and not equal then they don't have common factors (except 1 which would be a common factor even if the numerator and denominator were prime numbers).
simplest form or lowest terms
LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator which is the lowest number into which the denominators of all the fractions will each divide exactly. Each of the fractions can then be converted to an equivalent fraction with the new denominator which then allows the fractions to be added and/or subtracted.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
first find the GCF of the number and then divide both numerator and denominator by .
Find the highest common factor (HCF) of the numerator and denominator. If it is 1, then the fraction is already in its lowest term.If not, divide the numerator by the HCF for the new numerator.Divide the denominator by the HCF for the new denominator.The new numerator over the new denominator is the fraction in its lowest terms.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor.
Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor to reduce to its lowest equivalent fraction. For example, 169/260=13/20 after dividing the numerator and the denominator by 13.
To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms divide the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator. Divide each of them by that number. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its lowest terms.
Find the highest common factor of the numerator and the denominator and divide the factor into both of them to change the fraction into its lowest terms.
You have to divide the fraction by each other then multiply by 100Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form (lowest terms).
It means that the previous fraction was not in its lowest terms.
