Key Concepts

Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)

The greatest common divisor is the largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator without leaving a remainder. Determining the GCD is key to reducing a fraction because dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD yields the fraction in its simplest form.

Fraction Simplification

Fraction simplification involves reducing a fraction to its simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. This process makes the fraction easier to understand and compare with other fractions.
