I answered this already.
OpenStudy (diamond123):
so i just cancel out the same numbers i see in both the denominator and numerator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, perhaps u can "see" them without actually factorizing but factorizing will always find anything common. If there is nothing in common, u cannot reduce any more.
OpenStudy (diamond123):
o oh okay so after i find the prime factorization of a fraction using multiplication i then look for the same numbers that are alike but what if the exponent is different
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Like 2^4 /2^3 ?

yesssss
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2^4 = 2*2*2*2 2^3 = 2*2*2 Cancel 3 2's but there is a quicker way because they have already done the factorization for u. Just subtract exponents 4-3 = 1 -> 2^1 =2
