Can someone teach me how to simplify fractions? worth 10 points, i will give brainliest answer.

Divide the denominator and the numerator by the greatest number that can divide into both #'s easily!
Good Luck!

You have to find the greatest common factor between the numerator and the denominator (this is the largest number which can be multiplied to create both numbers). The best way to find the greatest common factor (aka GCF) is to list off the various pairs of numbers that multiply to each number and then find the largest number that multiplies to both numbers. Here's an example.

16/100
Factor pairs for 16: (1, 16) (2, 8) (4, 4)
Factor pairs for 100: (1, 100) (2, 50) (4, 25) (5, 20) (10, 10)
What is the greatest number that multiplies to create both numbers? 4
Now, divide both numbers by 4/4 as a fraction (because 4/4 is equal to one, this affirms that it's the same fraction, just simplified)
16   divided by 4 = 4
100 divided by 4 = 25
Therefore, the simplified version of 16/100 is 4/25.

Hopefully this helps!
