How to Reduce Fractions
form
One way to reduce fractions is to find the greatest
common factor of the numerator and the
denominator.

Steps to follow:
- Write down the factors for the numerator and the
denominator
- Determine the largest factor that is common
between the two
- Divide the numerator and denominator by the
greatest common factor
- Write down the reduced fraction
 WALT: simplify fractions using
