Simplifying Fractions:
A numerical expressions representing a part of a larger whole number. A fraction numbers can be converted to a decimal by dividing the upper number, or numerator, by the lower number, or denominator.
We call the top number the Numerator.
We call the bottom number the Denominator.
Example 1: 12/64(simplifying Fractions)
The fraction 12/64 is not reduced to lowest terms.
We can simplify this fractions to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4. This could also help us on mean maths
Why divide by 4? 4 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 12 and 64.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is3/16
The final answer is 3/16
