Divide top and bottom by any common factor until the only common factor is 1:

8/2 = 8÷2/2÷2

= 4/1

But this can be further simplified as the denominator (bottom number) is 1, it is the same as the whole number of the numerator (top number):

4/1 = 4

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

2/8 is simplified to 1/4. This is done by dividing both numbers by the highest common factor, which in this case would be 2.
