If you had meant,, then the simplest form of this fraction would be - 
Divide both parts of the fraction by 4, and you getthe simplest form of the fraction.
Finding out the simplest form of a given fraction is nothing else than cancelation.
Flop it, you have with you -
Flop the simplest form of the previous fraction, that's
If you had meant, then this will certainly be of any use to you.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FRACTION IS IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM?
Maybe, you are just simplifying and simplifying...but you don't even know when to stop. You can understand whether a fraction is in its simplest form or not by seeing that the numerator and the denominator have a common factor to divide it by, or not.
For instance, consider the case here - or <span>. We can't divide it any further. So, we know that it is in its simplest form.
</span>
L O N G Process:
Well, if you want to divide it by the smallest common factor to its larger, then --
or
1) Divided by 2 =
or 
2) Next, also by 2 = or
That took much longer, right.<span> So, it is more preferable to divide the fraction by the possible largest common factor, you can guess of.</span>

The statement that does not match the others is the one at lower right.
_____
The barn's volume can be decomposed into a rectangular prism and a triangular one. Thus the <em>upper right</em> expression is a true represenation of the barn's volume:
... Volume of triangular prism + Volume of rectangular prism
The volume of a <em>rectangular prism</em> is the product of its dimensions. The dimensions of the rectangular prism portion of the barn's volume are a, b, c, so the volume of that portion is ...
... Volume of rectangular prism = a·b·c
The volume of a <em>triangular prism</em> is the area of the triangular base multiplied by the length of the prism. Here, the triangular base has base dimension b and height (d-c), so its area is ...
... Area of triangular barn end = (1/2)b(d-c)
Since the length of the barn is "a", the volume of the triangular prism is ...
... Volume of triangular prism = (1/2)b(d-c)a = (1/2)·a·b·(d-c)
The <em>total volume</em> is the sum of the volumes of the parts ...
... a·b·c + (1/2)·a·b·(d-c) . . . . . . matches the <em>upper right</em> selection
This can be factored by removing a·b to outside parentheses:
... a·b·((1/2)·(d-c) + c) . . . . . . . . . matches the <em>lower left</em> selection
___
Since the two left selections match the one at upper right, the odd one is the one at lower left.
