    Reducing a fraction, by finding the highest common
    factor, make it easier to understand.
    This illustration shows
    Reduce fractions to their simplest form.
    To reduce a fraction, you divide the numerator and the
    denominator by highest common factor of both
    numbers.Write the fraction in its simplest
    form.
    Factors of 16:1 2 3 8 16
    1 2 3
    Factors of 40: 5 8 10 20 40

    Common factors of 16 and 40: 1 2 4 8


    Highest common factor is 8.

    Divide numerator and denominator by 8: = =

    Common Denominators
    Using your own example explain how to use common multiples
    to express 2 fractions with different denominators with the same
    denominator.
    1 2
    Take 2 fractions:
    4 and
    5 .
    Find the common multiples of the denominators
    4 and 5; 20, 40, 60 …
    Take the lowest common multiple, 20.
    Express the fractions with the denominator 20
    by multiplying the numerator and denominator
    of each fraction by the same number, so the
    denominator ×5
    becomes×420.
