Key notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A fraction is written in lowest terms when it uses the smallest possible numerator and denominator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put a fraction in lowest terms, find the largest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
