Explanation:

Well, to reduce a fraction to lowest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Factor. This is also called simplifying the fraction.

To find the Greatest Common Factor, you must:

1. List the prime factors of each number.

2. Multiply those factors both numbers have in common. If there are no common prime factors, the GCF is 1.
