Simplifying 7/6

How to reduce 7/6 to its simplest form

To simplify 7/6 we have to divide both numerator (7) and denominator (6) by their greatest common factor (GCF). In other words, writing a fraction in its simplest form means that both numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same whole number other than 1.

Find the greatest common factor of 7 and 6
To simplify a fraction, look for the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator. The greatest common divisor of 7 and the 6 is 1. So this is already the simplest form of the fraction. So we cannot simplify this further.

If your fraction is improper, simplify it as a mixed number.
An improper fraction is a fraction that has a larger numerator than denominator. To simplify an improper fraction as a mixed number (a number that combines a whole number and a fraction) you have to determine how many times the denominator fits the numerator. In this case the denominator (6) fits the numerator (7) 1 times. The leaves us with a remainder of 1. Therefore we can rewrite the fraction like this:

(1 x 6) + 1

A fraction is irreducible (in its simplest form) when the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. In that case the greatest common factor is 1.
