约分就是分子分母可以除以相同的数，然后得到简化后的分数。
约分步骤如下：
1.将分子分母分解因数；
2.找出分子分母公因数；
3.消去非零公因数。
约分时，如果能很快看出分子和分母的最大公因数,直接用它们的最大公约数去除比较简便。

“分数的分子和分母同时除以一个相同的数（0除外），分数的大小不变——分数的基本性质”来进行约分。
方法一：可以用分子和分母的公因数（1除外）去除

像这样，把一个分数化成和它相等，但分子和分母都比较小的分数叫做约分（一般要化成最简分数）
方法二：直接用分数的分子和分母的最大公因数（1除外）去除

小结：一般用分子和分母的公因数（1除外）去除分数的分子和分母，通常要除到最简分数为止。
