The process of reducing fractions involves dividing both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number at the bottom) by their highest common factor. This procedure simplifies the fraction to its simplest terms, making it more comprehensible and manageable. For instance, the fraction 8/12 can be reduced to 2/3 by dividing both components by 4.
