If a fraction's numerator and denominator only share one common factor, it is said to be in its simplest (or lowest) form.
To reduce a fraction to its simplest form we find the HCF of the numerator and the denominator, and then divide both of them by the HCF.
In order to eliminate all common prime factors, we can also prime factorize both the numerator and the denominator.
7 28 = 7 2 × 2 × 7 = 1 4
The simplest form of 7 28 = 1 4 .
