In this lesson, you will learn simplifying fractions to lowest terms. In order to simplify a fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by the same factor (number). When we do this, we change the way that the fraction looks, but we don't change the meaning of the fraction. For example, the fractions 5/10, 6/12, 3/6, and 1/2 all represent the same amount of material, namely one half of the item in question. Simplifying fraction is very closely related to the idea of an equivalent fraction. We use equivalent fractions when we add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions. We always simplify the resulting fraction to lowest terms to find the answer.
