View source for Reducible fraction

A '''reducible fraction''' is a [[ratio]] of two [[integer]]s which have a common [[divisor]].  Thus, for example, <math>\frac{10}{14}</math> is reducible because 2 divides both 10 and 14. On the other hand, <math>\frac{5}{7}</math> is [[irreducible fraction|irreducible]].

A fraction is no longer reducible or [[irreducible fraction|irreducible]] when the [[numerator]] and the [[denominator]] are [[relatively prime]] which means that the numerator and the denominator has a [[Greatest common divisor|gcd]] of 1.
