To simplify a fraction, you need to identify any common factors. In this case, both numerator and denominator are even so we can divide top and bottom by 2. Doing this gives us 18/39. Both these numbers can divide by 3, so do this and we get 6/13. 13 is a prime number, and so we cannot simplify any further. Thus 36/78 in its simplest form is 6/13.
