Equivalent fractions
AUTHOR (no date): Fractions that represent the same value when simplified. Two fractions are equivalent if, after reduction, they have the same numerator and denominator.
Simplifying fractions
AUTHOR (no date): The process of reducing a fraction to its simplest form by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Common denominator
AUTHOR (no date): A shared denominator used to compare or add fractions. It is typically found by finding a common multiple of the denominators.
Numerator
AUTHOR (no date): The top number in a fraction, indicating how many parts are being considered.
Denominator
AUTHOR (no date): The bottom number in a fraction, indicating the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.
Two fractions are considered equivalent if they represent the same value when simplified. This means that, despite having different numerators and denominators, they are equal in size or amount once reduced to their simplest form.
