A fraction is said to be in the simplest (or lowest) form if its numerator and denominator have no common factor except 1.
Finding the HCF of the numerator and denominator, then dividing both by the HCF, allows us to simplify a fraction..
Additionally, we can prime factorize the numerator and denominator while eliminating all of the common prime factors..
12 52 = 2 × 2 × 3 2 × 2 × 13 = 3 13
