Grade 5 - Fractions - Simplify by Dividing by a Common Factor

In this video, we explore how to reduce or simplify fractions by dividing them by a common factor. We demonstrate the process with two examples, showing how to simplify fractions step by step without necessarily finding the greatest common factor. Instead, we use basic division, starting with easily recognizable factors.

This approach helps students simplify fractions to their lowest terms, reinforcing their understanding of equivalent fractions and basic division skills.
