What Does it Mean to "Reduce Fractions?"

One of the concepts that is central to working with fractions in math is that as long as you perform the same operation on both the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), you won't change the underlying value of the fraction.

For example, if you begin the fraction 1/2, and multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by, say 5, you will not change the underlying value of the fraction no matter how many times you repeat the multiplication.

1	=	1 x 5	=	5	=	5 x 5	=	25	=	25 x 5	=	125
2		2 x 5		10		10 x 5		50		50 x 5		250

125 ÷ 250 = .50 = 1/2

Now, since 125/250 is the same as 1/2, 1/2 would be the simplified version of 125/250 (or 500/1000, 2500/5000, etc.). And since working with smaller numbers is easier that working with larger numbers, it always makes sense to reduce fractions to their simplest form before working with them.

How To Simply Fractions

The easiest way to simplify fractions is to use the fraction reducer calculator on this page. Otherwise, if you would like to simplify fractions manually, there are a couple of different ways:

The Trial and Error Method

To use the trial and error method of simplifying fractions you just start by attempting to divide the numerator and denominator by a small number that you believe to a common factor to both (usually 2) and then continue to work your way up. After each successful reduction, you then need to repeat the process until the numerator and denominator have no other factors in common.

8	=	8 ÷ 2	=	4	=	4 ÷ 2	=	2
12	=	12 ÷ 2	=	6	=	6 ÷ 2	=	3

The Greatest Common Factor Method

To use the greatest common factor method of simplifying fractions you first need to find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator. Next you simply divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

Using the fraction 8/12 from above, we find that the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 4.

8	=	8 ÷ 4	=	2
12	=	12 ÷ 4	=	3

Regardless of which manual method you choose, using them to reduce fractions can be extremely tedious and time consuming. Therefore I would suggest you bookmark the fraction reducer calculator and use it any time you are working with fractions.

The Final Step: Converting Improper Fractions

An improper fraction is a fraction that has a numerator that is greater than its denominator. Typically, when you are asked to simplify fractions, and a simplified fraction turns out to be an improper fraction, you would need one final step before the simplification was considered complete. And that would be to convert the improper fraction to a mixed number (a b/c).

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number (the fraction reducer calculator does for you), you first divide the numerator by the denominator. The number of full times the denominator goes into the numerator becomes the whole number, the remainder becomes the numerator, and the denominator remains unchanged.

Here is how you would convert the improper fraction 5/3 into a mixed number.

5	^>>>	5 ÷ 3 = 1 with remainder of 2	^>>>	1	2
3					3

With that, let's use the Fraction Reducer Calculator to reduce a fraction to simplest form and/or to convert an improper fraction into a mixed number.
