What is Simplify Fractions?
Simplifying fractions means reducing a fraction to its simplest form where the numerator and denominator are as small as possible, with no common factors other than 1.
How Does the Simplify Fractions Calculator Work?
The calculator divides the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the fraction.
- Input the Fraction: Enter the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
- Calculate the GCD: The tool identifies the largest number that can evenly divide both the numerator and denominator.
- Divide Numerator and Denominator: The numerator and denominator are divided by the GCD to produce the simplest form of the fraction.
Example: Simplify the Fraction 24/36
Step 1: Identify the GCD of 24 and 36.
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
GCD = 12
Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCD (12):
Numerator: 24÷12=2
Denominator: 36÷12=3
Result: The simplified fraction is 2/3.
