Simplifying Fractions and GCF

The video tutorial from Tutoring Hour teaches how to simplify fractions using two methods: prime factorization and the greatest common factor (GCF). It begins with a relatable example using a pizza to demonstrate the concept of simplifying fractions. The tutorial then explains the prime factorization method, showing how to break down numbers into their prime factors to simplify fractions. Next, it covers the GCF method, detailing how to find the greatest common factor to reduce fractions to their simplest form. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to practice with worksheets available on TutoringHour.com.
