All of the above fractions are irreducible - their denominators are prime numbers, and the numerators are not divisible by them.

Edit: in point of fact jim, they DO have a GCF - it's just that the GCF happens to be 1.

They can't be simplified. In each fraction, the top
and bottom are prime numbers, so in each case
the top and bottom have GCD of 1.

no, because they don't have a GCF
