Simplifying Fractions Worksheets — Free Printable
Simplifying (reducing) fractions to their lowest terms is a foundational skill needed whenever fractions appear in an answer. Our worksheets cover the two main approaches: dividing by any common factor repeatedly, and dividing once by the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). Students progress from simple fractions with obvious common factors to larger numerators and denominators requiring prime factorisation to identify the GCF.
- ✓Identifying common factors of numerator and denominator
- ✓Finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
- ✓Simplifying fractions by dividing by GCF
- ✓Step-by-step simplification (divide by 2, then 3, etc.)
- ✓Identifying fractions already in lowest terms
