Simplest Form When the only common factor of the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction is in simplest form ÷ 1 1 =

Unfortunately, not all fractions only have 1 as their common factor. This means we must simplify. Unfortunately, not all fractions only have 1 as their common factor. This means we must simplify. Do we really want to work with a fraction that looks like this? Do we really want to work with a fraction that looks like this? 16 Or this? No!!! No!!!

How to Find the Simplest Form of a Fraction Find a common factor of the numerator and the denominator and divide both the numerator and the denominator by that number. Keep Keep dividing by common factors until your fraction is in simplest form.

Check the most common factors first. Check the most common factors first

Simplify This Fraction- First find a common factor. Then divide both numerator and denominator by the factor. Check 2, 3, 5, ÷ 3 3 =
