When a fraction is reduced to lowest terms, the only factor that the numerator and denominator have in common is 1. For example, the fraction 7/15 is reduced to lowest terms. The factors of 7 are 1 and 7, and the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5 and 15. The only factor they have in common is 1.

What is a reduced fraction where the numerator and denominator have no common factors except for 1?
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
How do you tell if a fraction can be reduced?
If the numerator and denominator have any common factors (other than 1), then both the numerator and denominator can be divided by the common factor, and the new fraction will be equivalent to the original fraction in reduced form.
What is the definition of reduced fraction?
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
A fraction is reduced to its simplest form when the numerator?
For a fraction to be in its simplest form, numerator and denominator must have no common factor.
What is the term for a fraction when the denominator and numerator do not have any more factors in common?
It is a fraction in its reduced or simplest from.

A fraction should be reduced when?
When the numerator and denominator have another common factor besides ' 1 '.
How do you know if a fraction is simplified?
A fraction is considered simplified or reduced when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In other words, there is no integer greater than 1 that divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator. If there are common factors, the fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
How is a fraction related it's reduced form?
A fraction and its reduced form are equivalent. The numerator and denominator of the original (non-reduced) fraction will have been divided by their greatest common factor to give the reduced fraction.
Can 16 over 63 be reduced?
A fraction can be simplified if the numerator and denominator have any common factors. In this case, the factors of the numerator (16) are 2x2x2x2. The factors of the denominator (63) are 3x3x7. There are no common factors. Therefore, the fraction 16/63 is already in its simplest form and cannot be reduced.
When the numerator and denominator have 1 as their only common factor?
then that is your simplest formIt is an irreducible fraction or one in its lowest or simplest form.A fraction that is reduced to lowest terms.If a fraction's numerator and denominator have no factors other than one in common, the fraction cannot be simplified except if the denominator is 1, in which case the fraction can be simplified to the whole number of the numerator.
What are common fractions?
When the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction but if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction.
Is a fraction or a ratio by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor?
Dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor is how you simplify a fraction.
