    📖 Beginner's guideHow to Simplify a Fraction (Lowest Terms)Learn how to simplify a fraction to its lowest terms using the HCF, with a step-by-step method, worked example, and a free fraction calculator.

    Worked Example: Simplify Fraction

    Given:

    • a = 8
    • b = 12
    1. HCF(8, 12) = 4
    2. 8 ÷ 4 = 2
    3. 12 ÷ 4 = 3
    4. 8/12 = 2/3 = 0.6667

    Answer: 0.6667
