Simplifying Fractions

When finding the smallest fraction, divide by a common factor.
Both the numerator and denominator must be divided by the same number
Example 4/10 both 4 and 10 have a common factor of 2 so divide both numbers by 2
4 divided by 2 is 2 and 10 divided by 2 is 5
Since 2 and 5 are both prime numbers. The fraction 2/5 is in simplest form

Tips
First look to see if both numbers are even. If they are you know you can divide by 2.
Use your divisibility rules to help you find factors
Do both the numbers end in zero? Divide by 10 instead of 2.
The larger the factor you divide by, the less times you will need to divide.
