• Canceling out

- When simplifying fractions, the top (NUMERATOR) and bottom (DENOMINATOR) of a fraction might occasionally be divided by the same number. The process of simplifying a fraction is known as canceling out/down. You'll frequently be asked to write a fraction in its simplest form. To do this, keep canceling the fraction until it can no longer be cancelled.
