The greatest common factor is useful for simplifying fractions. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF reduces the fraction to its simplest form in one step, where the numerator and denominator have no common positive divisor greater than 1.
Conditions: The fraction has a positive-integer numerator and denominator.; The denominator is nonzero.
