You could perhaps skip some unnecessary reductions in a more explicit way, though most of the ways to do that make it possible to hold an unreduced fraction and use it in ways that it isn't meant to be used. I'm think of approaches such as returning unreduced fractions from arithmetic operators, and having reduce return a new fraction. If you made reduced and unreduced fractions separate types, you could still maintain a safe interface, but it also complicates everything. I can't really think of a solution that is just all around a Great Solution, perhaps someone else has more inspiration?

TBH I would probably resort to just using plain ints in most of the math routines, so that from the outside all fractions are nice and reduced and no weird problems arise, but internally the cost of unnecessary reductions is not paid. Not a Great Solution since it breaks through the abstraction but I could live with that because it is contained. This approach probably allows the most optimization since everything is super explicit, so if that's the focus it may be reasonable.

With the Euclidean algorithm the cost of reducing is typically one or two divisions (a handful at worst) and a couple of branches, not ideal but probably not a huge deal, I don't know. Not as big a deal as factorization at least.
