Simplifying a fraction (reducing it to the lowest terms), such as 32/5, means expressing the same value more clearly and concisely.

Step-by-step simplification of 32/5

  1. Start with computing the GCD of 32 and 5: GCD(32, 5) = 1.
  2. Divide the numerator by the GCD: 32/1 = 32
  3. Divide the denominator by the GCD: 5/1 = 5
  4. Combine these results to form the new simplified fraction: 32/5

The final result is: 32 5 = 32 5

Since the GCD is equal to 1, the fraction was already in its simplest form and couldn't be further reduced.
