              When the numerator and denominator of a fraction have no common factors other
              than 1, then the fraction is said to be in its simplest form.


              Example 1: Is     18   in its simplest form?                             Think Tank
                                21
              Solution:   Factors of numerator 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6,                     State True or False.

                            9 and 18.                                                 1. 2 pieces of   1   make half.
                              Factors of denominator 21 are 1,  3,  7                                6   4
                            and 21.                                                   2. Sumit has read   5  of his book
                              Here the common factors of 18 and 21                      and Tushar has read    8    of

                            are 1 and 3.                                                                      10
                             Thus,   18  is not in its simplest form.                   the same book. Sumit has
                                                                                        read more pages than Tushar.
