if you means proper fractions like x/y where x is smaller than y then

remember that x times 1=x
also remember that y/y=1 so
also remember that [tex] \frac{xz}{yt} = \frac{x}{y} \frac{z}{t} [/tex]

lets say you have 10/35
we try to find ones
10=5 times 2
35=5 times 7
then split up the fraction
[tex] \frac{10}{35} = \frac{2}{7} \frac{5}{5} = \frac{2}{7} 1=\frac{2}{7} [/tex]
