How Fraction Simplification works
The Fraction Simplifier reduces fractions to their lowest terms by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. It also converts between improper fractions and mixed numbers, and can perform basic fraction arithmetic.

Formula
Simplified Fraction = Numerator/GCD(N,D) over Denominator/GCD(N,D)
- Simplify any fraction to lowest terms instantly
- Convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers
- Shows step-by-step simplification process
- Handles very large numerators and denominators
Watch out
Common mistakes
- To simplify fractions manually, find the GCD of the numerator and denominator (using the Euclidean algorithm), then divide both by it. This tool automates that process for you.
