Let us say that you have the fraction 48/8 and you would like to simplify it. If you can find the multiplication list for the number 8, you will see that 6 x 8 = 48. Hence, 48/8 = 6. But maybe it doesn't work out that neatly all the time. Perhaps you have 49/8 as a fraction. It still may be helpful to make that into 6 and an eighth.
