what is it called when the numerator and denominator have only one as a factor

1 answer

A fraction in which the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1 is a reduced, or simplified, fraction.

That is also rational number in the standard form.

The denominator of a rational number in standard form is a positive integer and the numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.
