Is the Fraction in Simplest Form? Worksheet Download
This math worksheet asks whether a fraction is already in simplest form. About half of the fractions are and half can be reduced. Students circle yes or no and write the ones that can be reduced in simplest form. The fractions that are already in simplest form have no easy tell - both numbers are composite, like 8/15 or 9/16 - so students have to check for a common factor.
