It's really simple. You must know what the number is divisible by like 4/8. 4 and 8 is divisible by 2 and 4. So divide it and you'll get 1/2 if you divide it by 4 and 2/4 if you divide it by 2. So the simplified form of 4/8 is 1/2. Another is 8/16. It is divisible by 2, 4, and 8. Let's try to divide it by 8. So the answer is 1/2. As simple as that. Hope it works! :)
