Steps to simplify denominator and numeator

Well, if you had a denominator and a numerator that was like 4/6, it could be simplified down to 2/3, how?

You know that a fraction can be reduced until no longer it can be. Like 10 can be reduced to 5, half of it's original, but you cannot reduce 5 without going into decimals. If you simplify a fraction, you have to do the same on the top and bottom.

So for the example I gave, I said 4/6 into 2/3.

What I did was took 4/6 and divided it both by 2/2. Dividing the four by two, and the six by two.

4/6 / 2/2 = 2/3

Since that's it's lowest reduction, that's the simplified version of the fraction.

Hope this helped!
