In the field of mathematics, Cancelling the Common Factors denotes the act of streamlining a fraction through the removal of factors that are shared by both the numerator and the denominator. This method rests on the fundamental concept that any number, when divided by itself, results in 1, thereby preserving the original value of the fraction.
