NEED A HAND?

A fraction is a way to describe parts of a whole, group, or set. It is made up of two numbers:
a numerator and a denominator divided by a horizontal line.

EXAMPLE

If the numerator or denominator share a common factor, you can simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 5: 1, 5

Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF to rewrite the fraction.

So 5/10 = 1/2 in simplest form.
