How to Use the Simplify Fraction Calculator

  1. Enter the numerator (the top number of the fraction) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to simplify the fraction.
  4. The simplified fraction will be displayed in the result area.

Working Principle

The calculator works by finding the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and then dividing both by this GCD to get the simplified fraction. For example, to simplify the fraction 8/12:

  1. Find the GCD of 8 and 12, which is 4.
  2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4: 8 ÷ 4 = 2, 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
  3. The simplified fraction is 2/3.

Usage Methods
