Cross out any common factors.
In this example, you cross out a 2 and a 3, because they’re common factors — that is, they appear in both the numerator and denominator:

As another example, here’s how you reduce
Answer:
To reduce the fraction to its lowest term you have to find HCF and then divide the fraction by the HCF you get .
Example =
Reduce 6/12 into its lowest term =
HCF is 6
So,divide 6/12÷ 6/6 = 1/2
So lowest term of 6/12 = 1/2
