Sure! To reduce the fraction 5 to its lowest terms, we need to find the greatest common factor of 5 and divide both the numerator and denominator by it.

The greatest common factor of 5 and 5 is 5, so we divide both the numerator and denominator by 5 to get:

5 / 5 = 1

So, 5 reduced to its lowest terms is 1.

To make it kid-friendly, you could explain it like this: "We can simplify the fraction 5 by dividing the top and bottom by the biggest number that they both share. In this case, 5 is the biggest number that 5 and 5 share, so we divide both 5 and 5 by 5 to get 1."
