You divide both the denominator and numerator by a number that can evenly divide into it. (I forgot the proper word for it)
Example:
5/10 (5 over 10) ← Can be divided evenly by 5
5/10(5 over 10) ÷ 5 = 1/2 (1 over 2)
5/10 (5 over 10) in simplest form is 1/2 (1 over 2)
1/2 (1 over 2) is the smallest it can get, so that would be the simplest form.

Fractions are ratios. Equivalent fractions form a proportion.
Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
