A fraction is written in the lowest terms when it uses the smallest possible numerator and denominator. To put a fraction in the lowest terms, find the largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by that number.

you divide 7 by 7 and 35 by 7 and it gives you 1 over 5

so the lowest term for 7 over 35 is 1 over 5

hope it helps!

1 over 5 because you need to divided both number by 7 to get the simplest answer.
