What to understand
Key idea
Divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor. The fraction keeps its value while the numbers get smaller.
How to check
The reduced numerator and denominator should have a GCF of 1. Cross-multiplying the original and reduced fractions should produce equal products.
⚡ Shortcut Vault
Try 2, 3, 5, or 10 first when the numerator and denominator share an obvious divisibility pattern. Keep reducing until the GCF is 1.
