Enter the numerator and denominator of any number into the calculator. The calculator will simplify the fraction and display the lowest common integers.

## Simplifying Fraction Formula

The following formula can be used to simplify any fraction.

X/Y -> Simplified to A/B

A/B= X/(GCD(x,y)) / Y/(GCD(x,y)

• Where A/B is the simplified fraction
• X/Y is the original fraction
• GCD(x,y) is the greatest common denominator between x and y

## Simplify Fraction Definition

Simplifying a fraction is defined as reducing a fraction to the lowest equivalent fraction that can be displayed as whole numbers.

## Simplify Fraction Example

How to simplify a fraction

1. First, determine the GCD (x,y)

Determine the greatest common denominator between x and y. This is the greatest number that both numbers can be divided by and both yields a whole integer.

2. Divide X and Y by the GCD

Divide both x and y by their greatest common denominator.

3. Solve for the simplified fraction

Put the simplified fraction of A/B together from the values calculated in step 2.

## FAQ
