Simplifying a Fraction

LOWEST TERMS or also known as (AKA ) Simplify - a fraction is in lower terms when the NUMERATOR and DENOMINATOR of the fraction have NO COMMON FACTORS other than ONE.


HOW TO SIMPLIFY A FRACTION:

There are TWO ways to simplify a fraction:

1st. Try dividing both the TOP AND BOTTOM of the fraction until you CAN' T go any further.

_________________________________________________

2nd. Divide both the TOP AND BOTTOM of the fraction by the GREATEST COMMON FACTOR, (you have to work it out first!).

Good Job Carlo! I like how you made the important words stand out, but next time you should just change the color instead of having the word uppercase and adding color. When you use bigger size font, for me, it looks like your shouting at me. Also, next time you should try adding a picture. In addiction you should put the answers the your question somewhere so people can see if they're right or not. Good job though.

Good Job Carlo I liked how you explained how you are supposed and the proper way to simplify. I also like how you gave a video also and different colors. I thought you could of just said you think you can do it by yourself now, instead of DO YA' . Overall keep up the good work.

Great job Carlo, you did a Remarkable achievement. I like that you added a video, and you made the most important words stand out in red. Next time, just make sure the red important words where "How to Simplify a fraction" are the same size as "Simplifying A Fraction". Your post even helped me a lot also. But next time, add a picture to make your scribe post more exciting. But good job, you did good. Keep it up.

Great job Carlo R! You did a fantastic job. You included a video, a link, and some facts. You also highlighted the important words which made it stand out more. However, to make this a better scribe, you should also put a picture. And like Mary said, you should put your answers somewhere so the people could see if they did it right or wrong. Good job though. Keep it up!
