A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

How do you simplify $$\frac{2}{4}$$ ?

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCF, which is 2. So, $$\frac{2 \div 2}{4 \div 2} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .

How do you simplify $$\frac{21}{35}$$ ?

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCF, which is 7. So, $$\frac{21 \div 7}{35 \div 7} = \frac{3}{5}$$ .

How do you simplify $$\frac{15}{20}$$ ?

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCF, which is 5. So, $$\frac{15 \div 5}{20 \div 5} = \frac{3}{4}$$ .

How do you simplify $$\frac{6}{9}$$ ?

Divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCF, which is 3. So, $$\frac{6 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{2}{3}$$ .
