You divide both the denominator and numerator by a number that can evenly divide into it. (I forgot the proper word for it)

Example:

5/10 (5 over 10) ← Can be divided evenly by 5

5/10(5 over 10) ÷ 5 = 1/2 (1 over 2)

5/10 (5 over 10) in simplest form is 1/2 (1 over 2)

1/2 (1 over 2) is the smallest it can get, so that would be the simplest form.
