To reduce a fraction to lowest terms, find the largest number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and the denominator.

Note that reducing the fraction will not change its value; the reduced fraction will be an equivalent.

Example:
Reduce 6/18 to lowest terms.

The largest number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and the denominator is 6.

6 18

÷

6 6

=

1 3

Thus, the fraction 6/18 is the same as the fraction 1/3 when reduced to lowest terms.
