Hey there!

Simplifying a fraction means to make a fraction as simple as it can possibly be.


Here's an example:

2/4 = 1/2

2/4 is equal to 1/2 because . . .

You can divide both 2 and 4 by a number that is the same.

2 ÷ 2 = 1

2 ÷ 4 = 2


Therefore, 2/4 = 1/2

This is how a fraction can be simplified.


If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Hope this helps you,
Have a wonderful day! :)
