Question

How do you simplify a fraction? I need a full explanation. Thanks!

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can simplify a fraction if the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) can both be divided by the same number.

Answer 2

Hey there!
In order to simplify a fraction, we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Example: Let's suppose we have a fraction:

`\displaystyle(2)/(4)`

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:

2:2

4:2

`\displaystyle(1)/(2)`

I hope you find my answer helpful.

Good luck!

Have a great day!
