A simple fraction is a fraction that is a whole number divided by a whole number. Complex fractions can have fractions inside of fractions.
A fraction always has one number on top (the numerator), and another number on the bottom (the denominator). If it doesn't have both of those, then it's not a fraction.

To simplify irregular numbers, or improper fractions, you divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). For example, if you had the fraction 21/7, the simplified number would be 3. If you had the fraction 23/7, the answer would be 3 2/7.
You can simplify fractions, sometimes, but you can never simplify whole numbers.
