How to Do Fractions

  1. In order to do fractions we first need to find the common factor of both the numerator and denominator (A common factor is any number that divides both the numerator and denominator). Like 3 divides 6 and 21.
  2. Then continue dividing the fraction with the common factor till there are no more common factors in the numerator and denominator.
  3. Now the fraction is called as simplified fraction as no common factors remaining which can divide both the numerator and denominator.

Example of simplifying fractions

Lets take 12/14. Here both 12 and 14 are divisible by 2 so lets divide the fraction with 2.
So we get 12/14 = 6/7 Now 6/7 does not have any common factors so 6/7 is the simplified fraction
So both 18 and 42 are divisible with 2,3,6
