Since we do not know what the fraction is - we cannot help you !
If the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
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.
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
They always have a numerator but, if they are integers, the may not have a denominator.
You look for common factors, and divide both numerator and denominator by the same factor. For example, 9/12 has the common factor 3, if you divide numerator and denominator by 3, you get 3/4.
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.
If the numerator and denominator are prime numbers and not equal then they don't have common factors (except 1 which would be a common factor even if the numerator and denominator were prime numbers).
If the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than one, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
If the numerator and denominator of a fraction have a common factor (except for '1'), divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. The fraction is in the simplest form when the numerator and denominator have no common factors.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

Yes. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are prime, the fraction is in simplest form. The reason is that each number has only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For that reason, it is not possible for the numerator and denominator to have any factors (other than 1) in common.
Where the numerator and denominator have no further common factors
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.
You search for common factors in the numerator and the denominator. Then you divide numerator and denominator by this common fraction. For example, in the fraction 9/12, the common factor is 3. If you divide numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 3, you get 3/4, which is an equivalent fraction.
It is a fraction in its reduced or simplest from.
That IS the reduced or simplified fraction.
