1 Warm Up Find the GCF and LCM of:

2 Simplifying Fractions
A fraction is a way of expressing a number as PART of a WHOLE

3 Simplifying Fractions
The top number in a fraction is called the Numerator

4 Simplifying Fractions
The bottom number in a fraction is called the Denominator

5 Simplifying Fractions
…not to be confused with this guy…

6 Simplifying Fractions
Different fractions can express the same Part to Whole ratio

7 Simplifying Fractions
In order to eliminate confusion, we tend to write fractions in SIMPLIFIED FORM

8 Simplifying Fractions
Two ways to simplify a fraction Divide Once by the GCF Divide Repeatedly by smaller factors

9 Simplifying Fractions Divide Once by the GCF
Divide Repeatedly by smaller factors

10 Simplifying Fractions Divide Once by the GCF
Divide Repeatedly by smaller factors

11 Simplifying Fractions Divide Once by the GCF
