Converts the input fraction into a simple fraction by simplifying it.

Enter a fraction and click the "Calculate" button to calculate and simplify the fraction you entered and convert it to a simple fraction.

The numerator and denominator of a fraction can be entered as decimals.

You can enter up to 10 digits for the numerator and denominator.

The calculation method is also displayed along with the calculation.

Simplifying a fraction means dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number to make a simpler fraction.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number, or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number, does not change the size of the fraction.

Therefore, by dividing by the same number, you can convert it into a simple fraction, which is an equal fraction with the same magnitude.

For example, 12 multiplied by 2 to get 24 and 36 multiplied by 3 both yield the same fraction.

Therefore, by taking advantage of this property, we can turn a number into a simple fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number.

To simplify a fraction, first find a number that divides both the numerator and denominator (a common factor), and then divide the numerator and denominator by that number.

You can simplify by repeating this process until there are no more common factors.

Example: Simplify 618.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

618 = 6 ÷ 218 ÷ 2

= 39

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3.

= 3 ÷ 39 ÷ 2

= 13

Since there are no further divisible numbers, 618 = 13.

When simplifying by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor, you will need to divide multiple times if there are many common factors.

Alternatively, you can reduce it in one go by dividing by the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator.

Example: Simplify 2436.

The greatest common factor between 24 and 36 is 12.

Divide the numerator and denominator by 12.

2436 = 24 ÷ 1236 ÷ 12

= 23

Therefore, 2436 = 23.
