Simplifying Fractions | Numbers | Maths

The video tutorial introduces simplifying fractions using a magical theme. It explains how to use the Highest Common Factor (HCF) as a tool to simplify fractions efficiently. The tutorial presents two magic math skills: the HCF wand and the simplification spell. The HCF wand helps identify the largest number that divides both the numerator and denominator, while the simplification spell applies this factor to simplify the fraction. The video concludes with a recap of the steps and encourages practice with examples.
