How do I simplify? I forgot, it's been a little.

Simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same amount. They both must have a result.

For example, we have 8/16.

We can divide it by 2 which gives us 4/8, but it can be simplified more.

We can divide it by 4 this time, which gives us 2/4, but it can still be smaller.

We can divide it by 8 this time, which gives is 1/2. This is the farthest simplification that you can get for 8/16.

Hope this helps

Answer:

Explanation:

You simplify by adding the common factors together, like 3x+4x, which gets 7x. Also the same for subtraction, multiplication, and division.
