Simplify a fraction to lowest terms
English users usually search for simplify fractions, reduce fractions, fraction simplifier, or lowest terms. The core task is the same: divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
The fraction value stays the same when numerator and denominator are divided by the same nonzero number.
- Enter the numerator and denominator.
- The calculator finds the greatest common factor.
- Both parts are divided by the GCF to produce the simplest form.
- Improper results are also shown as mixed numbers when useful.
Examples of reduced fractions
| Fraction | GCF | Simplest form |
|---|---|---|
| 6/15 | 3 | 2/5 |
| 12/8 | 4 | 3/2 |
| 48/36 | 12 | 4/3 |
| 7/13 | 1 | already simplest |
