If you can find any common factor of the numerator and denominator,

divide each of them by it.

If you're given 18/20, you stare at it for a while, and you notice that 18 and 20 have

the common factor of 2. So you divide top and bottom by 2, and you get 9/10. That's

the simplest form.

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