Simplifying Fractions

Fractions may have numerators and denominators that are composite numbers (numbers that has more factors than 1 and itself).

How to simplify a fraction:

  • Find a common factor of the numerator and denominator. A common factor is a number that will divide into both numbers evenly. Two is a common factor of 4 and 14.
  • Divide both the numerator and denominator by the common factor.
  • Repeat this process until there are no more common factors.
  • The fraction is simplified when no more common factors exist.
