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.

7 divided by 8
Fractions are ratios. Equivalent fractions form a proportion.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.

Well, honey, to write the expanded form of 0.031 with fractions, you simply break it down into its place values. So, 0.031 is equal to 0 + 0.03 + 0.001, which can be written as 0 + 3/100 + 1/1000. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Factor the numerator and denominator, and then cancel any common factors.

Simplest form refers to fractions. You can write 7.7 million over 1, but it's not necessary.
3/12 simplifies to 1/4 or one fourths
You convert to a common denominator first. Then you add or subtract the numerator and write it in simplest form
6.08 = (6 x 1) + (0/10) + (8/100)
