- Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same.
- Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put that answer over the denominator.
- Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if possible)
As you can see, 3/4 cannot be simplified any further, so the result is the same as we started with. Not very exciting, I know, but hopefully you have at least learned why it cannot be simplified any further!
What is in the simplest form?
A fraction is in its simplest form when the numerator and the denominator have no common factors besides one.
What is 5 and 3/4 as a fraction?
The improper fraction that is equivalent to the mixed number 5 3/4 is 23/4.
30 is the greatest common factor between 90 and 120. Therefore, we divide the numerator and denominator by 30. 90/120 written in lowest terms is 3/4. Let's look at a trick to put fractions in lowest terms.

How do you find the fraction that lies between two fractions?
To find a fraction between two fractions, all we need to do is make the sum of the numerators be the new numerator, and the sum of the denominators be the new denominator.
A fraction is said to be in its simplest form if 1 is the only common factor of its numerator and denominator. For example,89,because 1 is the only common factor of 8 and 9 in this fraction.
