To simplify a fraction, find a number that is divisible evenly by both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom).

You could start with 2. 20 divided by 2 = 10. 25 divided by 2 = XXXX not a whole number.

3? nope. not whole numbers. 4? nope. not a whole number for 25. 5?

20/5=4
25/5=5

So, the simplified fraction is 4/5.

To check if it can be simplified anymore, look if the numerator and denominator have any of the same multiples.

In this casethey do not, so 4/5 is in simplest form

It is 4/5. 20 and 25 have the GCF of 5. Divide both by 5. The answer is 4/5
