class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-how-to-reduce-fractions-in-lowest-terms\">How to Reduce Fractions in Lowest Terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Reducing fractions to lowest terms refers to simplifying the fractions such that the numerator and denominator become coprime (relatively prime).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In other words, reducing fractions to lowest terms in math means to reducing fractions to a form $\\frac{a}{b}(b \\neq 0)$ such that GCD(a,b) $= 1$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s learn two simple ways to reduce the fractions in lowest terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-dividing-by-common-factors\">Dividing by Common Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Divide both numerator and denominator by their lowest common factor (or any common factor).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Repeat this step for the resulting fraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Continue this process until the only common factor is 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">This method is simple but time-consuming. It uses several steps to get to the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1: Reduce <\/strong>$\\frac{48}{60}$<strong> in lowest terms.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{48 \\div 2}{60 \\div 2} = \\frac{24}{30}$ \u20262 is the common factor of 48 and 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{24 \\div 2}{30 \\div 2} = \\frac{12}{15}$ \u20262 is the common factor of 24 and 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">$\\frac{12 \\div 3}{15 \\div 3} = \\frac{4}{5}$ \u20263 is the common factor of 48 and 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">4 and 5 have no common factors other than 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">4860 in its simplest form is 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2: Write each fraction in lowest terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">i) $\\frac{6}{8}$ in lowest terms $= \\frac{6 \\div 2}{8 \\div 2} = \\frac{3}{4}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">ii) $\\frac{135}{180}$ simplified $= \\frac{135 \\div 45}{180\\div45} = \\frac{3}{4}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-using-the-greatest-common-divisor\">Using the Greatest Common Divisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Here, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor.
