  1. A fraction is in its lowest terms when its numerator and denominator have no common factors except 1. Simplifying fractions involves dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. For example, 12/16 simplifies to 3/4 when both terms are divided by their greatest common factor, 4. This process ensures the fraction is in its simplest form, making calculations and comparisons easier while retaining the same value.
