About this worksheet

Each sheet contains 20, 24 or 32 problems (your choice) and is generated at random. Press “New problems” as many times as you like; there is no limit and no account needed.

Worked example

1228=
  1. Find the greatest common factor of 12 and 28: it is 4.
  2. Divide both by 4: 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 28 ÷ 4 = 7.
  3. 12/28 = 3/7, and 3 and 7 have no common factor left.

Answer: 3/7

Teaching tips

  • Divide by small common factors (2, 3, 5) repeatedly if the GCF is not obvious.
