To reduce a fraction to simplest terms, you find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator and divide both those numbers by this GCF. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
An easier way to do this is to find ANY common factor and divide both the numerator and denominator by it. Then repeat with the new numerator and denominator until you can find no more common factors. Although it could take longer, you are less likely to end up having to divide by very large numbers.
