Simplifying Fractions
To simplify a fraction, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both by it.
A fraction is fully simplified when the numerator and denominator share no common factor other than 1.
Repeating Decimals
Some fractions produce decimals that go on forever with a repeating pattern.
This happens when the denominator (after simplifying) has prime factors other than 2 and 5. Denominators like 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 25 always produce terminating decimals. Denominators like 3, 6, 7, 9, and 11 always repeat.
