Simplify the given fractions:
Simplifying fractions is similar to dividing. In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. The dividend is referred to as the numerator and it is divided by the divisor or the denominator. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.
