Simplifying Fractions and GCF

This video tutorial demonstrates how to simplify fractions using the greatest common factor (GCF). It covers two methods: the F method and the Euclidean algorithm. The F method is illustrated with the fraction 3/6, showing how to find common factors and simplify to 1/2. The Euclidean algorithm is used for the fraction 27/33, demonstrating division steps to simplify it to 9/11. The video concludes with a summary of the techniques for simplifying fractions using GCF.
