To cancel fractions easily, follow these steps:

1. Identify if there are any common factors between the numerator and denominator.
2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
3. Repeat this process until there are no common factors left.
4. The resulting fraction is the canceled form of the original fraction.

For example, let’s cancel the fraction 12/18:

1. The greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6.
2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 6: 12/6 = 2 and 18/6 = 3.
3. There are no more common factors, so the canceled form of 12/18 is 2/3.

By canceling fractions, you simplify them and make them easier to work with in calculations.
