Question

How do you simplify fractions?

Answer 1

You find the least common denominator and divide your fraction by that number

16/18
16 / 2= 7
18 / 2= 9

7/9

Answer 2

if you means proper fractions like x/y where x is smaller than y then

remember that x times 1=x
also remember that y/y=1 so
also remember that
`(xz)/(yt) = (x)/(y) (z)/(t)`

lets say you have 10/35
we try to find ones
10=5 times 2
35=5 times 7
then split up the fraction

`(10)/(35) = (2)/(7) (5)/(5) = (2)/(7) 1=(2)/(7)`
