You look whether there is a common factor between the numerator and the denominator. If there is, divide the numerator and the denominator by this common factor. When there are no more common factors, the fraction is in simplest terms.

Example: the fraction is 9/12. The common factor is 3. If you divide 9 by 3 and 12 by 3, you get 3/4. Since there are no more common factors, the fraction is in simplest terms.
