Put
1320
-------
5280 and reduce
First cancel off the 0's
132 / 528
Next, note that both are divisible by 4, since the last two digits of each are divisible by 4. Divide top and bottom by 4.
33 / 132
Next note that both are divisible by 11 so divide top and bottom by 11.
3/12
Finally divide top and bottom by 3 and you get 1/4
Look up divisibility tests online and find out how to recognise the common factors. I ran across a great tutoring website that explains how to do things like this, a lot better than I can explain here because it has better graphics. http://amby.com/educate/math
Alternatively, divide it out in your calculator, and recognise that the answer, .25, is the same as 1/4
