The video tutorial explains how to simplify fractions by reducing them to their simplest form. It demonstrates the process using examples like 16/20, 24/40, and 36/54, emphasizing the importance of finding the greatest common factor (GCF) to simplify fractions efficiently. The tutorial also covers how to identify when a fraction is already in its simplest form, using 4/17 as an example. Understanding these concepts helps in working with fractions more effectively.
