Answer:

simplest form

Explanation:

Simplest form is a method of converting the fraction to its lowest multiple.

For example, the fraction 25/100 isn't in its simplest form

Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 5. When divided by 5 the fraction becomes 5/20.

5/20 is still not in its simplest form because it can be divided by 5. When divided by 5, the fraction becomes 1/4.

1/4 is now in its simplest form because both the numerator and denominator cannot be divided by any other number
