Simplify a fraction
Divide both by their greatest common divisor.
Finding the GCD (Euclidean Algorithm)
Repeatedly divide until remainder is 0.
Step 1
Stop when
a/b= fraction to simplify
GCD= greatest common divisor
Simplifying a fraction (reducing to lowest terms) means dividing both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Factor (GCF). The result is an equivalent fraction with the smallest possible whole numbers.
💡
Tip: Quick check: if both numbers are even, divide both by 2. Keep doing this until at least one is odd. Then check for other common factors.

Fun Fact
Euclid's algorithm for finding the GCF (and thus simplifying fractions) is one of the oldest algorithms still in use — it appears in Euclid's Elements written around 300 BC.
