RENAME IN LOWEST TERMS

INSTRUCTIONS

The following  equivalent fractions were made from Rename in Lowest Terms:

When the program starts, you will be asked to identify the distance along a number line. After the distance is correctly identified, you will be asked to write the fraction in lowest terms.  To do so. think of the largest number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and the denominator.  In the example above, the first fraction has a numerator of 8 and a denominator of 12.  The largest number that divides evenly into 8 and 12 is 4. 4 is called the greatest common factor of 8 and 12.

The numerator of the second fraction is 2 because 8 divided by 4 is 2.
The denominator of the second fraction is 3 because 12 divided by 4 is 3.

Written out, the example would look like this:
