    ✅ Whether you need a quick refresher after learning this years ago, or maybe even after learning this recently, this video is for you if you need a quick review on how to simplify fractions.
    ✅ Thanks so much for watching! ✌️✌️✌️
    ✅ More simplifying fractions videos in the description.
    ✅ Remember, the value of a fraction does not change when you simplify. Simplified fractions are equivalent to the original fraction.

  • @user-iq6fn5cm7q
    @user-iq6fn5cm7q Před 2 lety +6

    HOW TO SIMPLIFY FRACTIONS THE EASIEST WAY:
    If the difference between the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction cannot be simplified.
    A. Ask: does the numerator go into the denominator evenly (i.e. without any remainder)?
    If yes, proceed to B.
    If not, proceed to C.
    B. Great! The simplest fraction is 1 over the number of times the numerator fits in the denominator. (e.g. 20/60, 20 fits evenly 3 times, hence 1/3.)
    C. Write the remainder, (e.g. 20/46, (20 fits 2 times in 46, with a remainder of) 6.) to the right of the fraction, and ask: does the remainder go evenly into the numerator?
    If yes, proceed to D.
    If not, proceed to E.
    D. Great! The "remainder" is the Greatest Common Factor. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF/remainder to have the simplest fraction.
    E. Write the "new remainder" (using the last example, 20/46, 6 fits into 20 with a "new remainder" of 2) to the right of the previous "remainder", and ask: does the "new remainder" fit evenly into the previous "remainder" (2 into 6)?
    If yes, proceed to D.
    If not, proceed to E.
    Please, (with your amazing talent,) produce a video demonstrating it.

    Thank you so much, everytime I pay attention to my math teacher I always don't get it, but with some examples it would be a lot better

    It's nice to educate me on CZcams and I watched numberblocks and the show cheered me up.

    I thought either the numerator or denominator had to be a prime number; or the fraction is not in simplest form. Then I had to simplify 18 over 56, and got 9 over 28… neither 9 or 28 are prime. Can I get some clarification on this?
