Fractions Rules for Avoiding Common Errors
Simplifying Reduce = = = 10 = Greatest Common Factor Write the numerator and denominator as a product of factors, then cancel common factors and obtain the result.
Simplifying = = = = Write the numerator and denominator as a product of common factors then cancel the common factors and obtain the result. Repeat the simplification process until all common factors are removed.
