Reducible fraction

Revision as of 12:22, 3 May 2023 by Jadon jung (talk | contribs)

A reducible fraction is a ratio of two integers which have a common divisor. Thus, for example, $\frac{10}{14}$ is reducible because 2 divides both 10 and 14. On the other hand, $\frac{5}{7}$ is irreducible.

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