fraction in its lowest terms
As James says, it's the corresponding fraction. But I think the point here is to cancel out common terms and leave the fraction as e.g. 3/10, rather an 30% or 30/100.

the repeating decimals generating fraction
For instance, (1/3) = 0.33333333333333333333333
(1/3) is the "fracción generatriz." Why? Because by dividing one by three, one generates the repeating decimals (3 is repeated ad infinitum) in the right hand side of the equation above.
