Lowest terms means you can't simplify it anymore.

For example, if you have 4/10 thay can be simplified. All you have to do is look for a factor that fits easy one

4/10

A "2" divides equally into them

4 divided by 2 = 2

10 divided by 2 = 5

but nothing goes into 2 except 1 and 2, but neither 1 nor 2 into 5 evenly, so your fully simplified

some rules:

things ending 0 are always divisible by 10 (ans 5)

things ending in 0 ans 5 are always dividible by 5

things ending in even numbers are always divisible by 2

I believe if all the digits added up to a multiple of 3 that the number is divisible by 3 but I'm not sure

Do the same thing and you will know if it is or not in it's lowest terms.

Hope this helps. :)
