What is Fraction Simplification?

Fraction simplification, also known as reducing fractions or expressing fractions in lowest terms, is the process of rewriting a fraction so that the numerator and denominator are as small as possible while keeping the value of the fraction the same. This is achieved by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

For example, to simplify the fraction 4/8, we find the GCD of 4 and 8, which is 4. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 4, we get 4÷4 / 8÷4 = 1/2. Thus, 1/2 is the simplified form of 4/8.

Simplifying fractions makes them easier to understand and work with, especially in more complex calculations. This tool helps you quickly and accurately simplify any fraction.
