how do you simplify a fraction example 16/27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep dividing the numerator and the denominator. That's what I do.. 3/6 Divide 3 and 6 by 3 1/3 You get the jist of it.

but what about when the numbers arent even

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean if you can't divide them both by the same number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can still divide them using different numbers. Divide until you no longer can and the numbers will be in their simplest form.
