Simplifying Fractions

To simplify a fraction, find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both by the GCF.

\text{Simplified Fraction} = \frac{\text{Numerator} \div \text{GCF}}{\text{Denominator} \div \text{GCF}}

The GCF is the largest number that divides both the numerator and denominator evenly.

Simplifying Radicals

To simplify a square root, factor the number into a perfect square and its remainder, then take the square root of the perfect square.

\sqrt{a \times b} = \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b}

If the number under the radical is a perfect square, the result is an integer.
