Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression with a simpler, equivalent one. Simplifying an expression involves writing it in its simplest form, without any more adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. For example, the expression 4 + 6 + 5 can be simplified to 15.
Simplification can involve: Algebraic expressions, Boolean expressions, Fractions, Conjunction elimination.
Simplification can help to: Reduce a fraction by canceling it to the lowest common factor (LCM) for both the numerator and the denominator to its lowest term Reduce an algebraic expression by grouping and combining similar terms Make an algebraic equation easy to understand
When simplifying an algebraic expression, you should follow the order of operations: Parentheses Exponents Multiplication and division Addition and subtraction
Some important techniques of simplification include: Digital sum Number system Reciprocals HCF & LCM Percentages Square & Cube
