Explanation:

Simplifying (or reducing) fractions means to make the fraction as simple as possible. here are two ways to simplify a fraction:

Method 1

Try to exactly divide (only whole number answers) both the top and bottom of the fraction by 2, 3, 5, 7 ,... etc, until we can't go any further.

Method 2

Divide both the top and bottom of the fraction by the greatest common factor
