Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) between the numerator and denominator, then divide the numerator by GCF and denominator by GCF to get the new numerator and denominator. If the GCF is 1, then the fraction is already simplified.

Example: 6/9 --> The GCF is 3, so 6/3= 2 and 9/3 =3, so the new simplified fraction is 2/3.
