THANK YOU SOMEHOW MY DUMB SELF FORGOT HOW TO DO THIS 😭

i swear he explains better than my teacher she adds like a million steps

Mr. J. My daughter is in 5th grade and she really likes your videos. She understands math so much better after watching them. Thank you so much for posting these.

THANKYOU SO MUCH IM ON WINTER BREAK AND I HAVE A BUNCH OF MATH WORK TO DO AND FROGOT HOW TO DO THIS😭🖐🏾

Who is watching this in 7th grade because you still can’t understand how to simply fractions ✋🏼

This was so helpful! I’m currently doing homework and I was struggling so much, thank you Mr.J!!

I swear 5 minutes videos on RU-vid helps way more than my teacher dose! When my math teacher starts talking a have no idea what he’s talking about or if where even talking about math....

I have a Math Test Tomorrow and I want to make sure I ace it, this was so helpful. Thank you so much Mr J. !!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH MR J, I’m a 7th grader and I’m very worried of being held behind in school. Ima start watching u and practicing every chance I have :)

When you're going into 7th grade and you've been "Homeschooled" your whole life but in reality you just never did anything and dont know basic math skills..:

I’m dumb I don’t know this stuff but I’m in 7th and learned this in 6th then just forgot like it was nothing thx mr j

Thank you! I'm studying for my EC-6 content exam and haven't simplified fractions in at least 15 years. Super helpful review!

I swear I have a math test tomorrow and I wasn’t be able to understand the lesson I checked the equivalent and the simplify videos of yours and I am loving this you explain better than anyone.Keep the good work Mr.J

Thanks, my Teacher recently surprised us with a quiz lol.

Who's here because they didn't pay attention in online school?

I kept stressing out in 5th grade because I didn't know how to simplify or change an improper fraction and now that I'm older and watching your videos I feel so much more confident in doing math!

THANK U SO SO MUCH, NOW I CAN DO MY HOMEWORK!!! ( U don't know how much this means to me)

Thank you so much! I have struggled with math my whole life and am currently upgrading my math so that I may get into the Nursing program. At 33 years of age it is finally making sense! It is all about the patience of the teacher and the methods which you use. Thank you :)

After re-enrolling in college, I've needed to relearn how to do everything without a calculator. Thank you very much for these easily digestible videos. 👍

Thank you so much for helping Mr. J! My teacher uses you to teach us. Your so good at explaining! Thank you again!

How can a factor be great and common at the same time? : )

Thanks you saved my life i didnt know how to

You explain this so nicely, You are like the first thing I search up for math and I have a test today.Thank you so much!

Thank you, i'm in 6th grade and this helped me out alot!

This is really gonna help me with the worksheet I need to complete for today! Thanks for making this video!

That helped soooooooo much thank you 🤗

OMG THANK YOU I KNOW UNDERSTAND FRACTIONS! Thank you so much

i have a math test Tomorrow so thank you

Thank you very much! This video really helped me to understand my homework 😅. Before I whatched this video I couldn't really understand how to simplify fractions and I kept getting it wrong. But right after whatching this, I was way confident! Once again thank you!!!!

Do we always have to simplify ?

Thank you so much! My Mister sent me this link and its sooo helpful like if same :)

HOW TO SIMPLIFY FRACTIONS THE EASIEST WAY: If the difference between the numerator and denominator is 1, the fraction cannot be simplified. A. Ask: does the numerator go into the denominator evenly (i.e. without any remainder)? If yes, proceed to B. If not, proceed to C. B. Great! The simplest fraction is 1 over the number of times the numerator fits in the denominator. (e.g. 20/60, 20 fits evenly 3 times, hence 1/3.) C. Write the remainder, (e.g. 20/46, (20 fits 2 times in 46, with a remainder of) 6.) to the right of the fraction, and ask: does the remainder go evenly into the numerator? If yes, proceed to D. If not, proceed to E. D. Great! The "remainder" is the Greatest Common Factor. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF/remainder to have the simplest fraction. E. Write the "new remainder" (using the last example, 20/46, 6 fits into 20 with a "new remainder" of 2) to the right of the previous "remainder", and ask: does the "new remainder" fit evenly into the previous "remainder" (2 into 6)? If yes, proceed to D. If not, proceed to E. Please, (with your amazing talent,) produce a video demonstrating it.

What does Mr.(J) stand for ?? Thank you

Thanks Mr. J! You are so helpful when it comes to math!

Thanks, you're a life saver,I understood nothing teacher said,and if I went to school without my homework done,I would have gotten a ticket to detention club

Well my Teacher started teaching me this it was like a brain killer , I was so stupid to not remember how to do this so I asked my teacher to break it down to simplest way she know but I still couldn't understand so I came home and Google it up and I found some explanations 🎉 the I was so happy so I went on RU-vid and I found your video ❤❤🎉

Thank you so much

Wow this was so easy thank you I first thought it was hard because my teacher explained it differently but it's easier like this thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH! SOMEHOW I AM IN FIFTH GRADE AND FORGOT HOW TO DO THIS RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL.😭😭😭😭

Thank you Mr J :)

It’s funny my teacher just went over this in class and I still didn’t understand but you helped me a lot! THANK YOU!!!

My teacher uses your videos all the time! You are so helpful!

Hay (Math with Mr.J)I am 11 and I am writing S.E.A, in a little while, so I just wanted to say, that your work is really helping me, for revision with my mom n stuff, so I just wanted to say thank you!

If anyone is confused about why listing the factors and multiples doesn't seem to work on bigger fractions. It's because it doesn't because it will start taking you a loooong time to keep writing them for each fraction the bigger they get and you may be given problems with 3 fractions too. Prime factoring is what you need to learn because you use it for simplifying, finding common denominators when adding and subtracting fractions, and also cross canceling when multiplying and dividing fractions. I recommend learning this first after you're done with equivalent fractions because it's super important you know it beforehand because you'll probably be put on comparing fractions first. Also if you find it hard to learn adding and subtracting fractions first try starting on multiplying and dividing fractions first. I did that and it made it easier to practise prime factoring, and it helped me understand common denominators too.

Who is watching in 2020 before EOG??
