Solution

Step 1: Identify the Common Factor

To simplify a fraction, identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator.

Step 2: Divide Numerator and Denominator by the GCF

Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF to reduce the fraction to its simplest form.

Step 3: Verify the Simplified Fraction

Ensure that the fraction is fully simplified by confirming that the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
