Simplify the operation
Reduce (simplify) the fractions to their lowest terms equivalents:
- To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms equivalent: divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.
The fraction: 98/61
98/61 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 98 = 2 × 72
- 61 is a prime number.
- GCF (98; 61) = 1
The fraction: 99/52
99/52 is already reduced to the lowest terms.
The numerator and denominator have no common prime factors:
- 99 = 32 × 11
- 52 = 22 × 13
- GCF (99; 52) = 1
The fraction: 114/64
- The prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator:
- 114 = 2 × 3 × 19
- 64 = 26
- Multiply all the common prime factors: if there are repeating prime factors we only take them once, and only the ones having the lowest exponent (the lowest powers).
- GCF (114; 64) = 2
114/64 = (114 ÷ 2)/(64 ÷ 2) = 57/32
The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:
114/64 = (2 × 3 × 19)/26 = ((2 × 3 × 19) ÷ 2)/(26 ÷ 2) = 57/32
The fraction: 102/60
- 102 = 2 × 3 × 17
- 60 = 22 × 3 × 5
- GCF (102; 60) = 2 × 3 = 6
102/60 = (102 ÷ 6)/(60 ÷ 6) = 17/10
The fraction can also be reduced without calculating GCF; factor the numerator and denominator and cross out all the common prime factors:
102/60 = (2 × 3 × 17)/(22 × 3 × 5) = ((2 × 3 × 17) ÷ (2 × 3))/((22 × 3 × 5) ÷ (2 × 3)) = 17/10
The fraction: 176/67
176/67 is already reduced to the lowest terms.

Make the denominators of the fractions the same:
- Expand each fraction: multiply both its numerator and denominator by its corresponding expanding number, calculated above.
- This way all the fractions will have the same denominator:
