Elements
Well, darling, a pure substance that can't be broken down further is called an element. It's like the Beyoncé of the periodic table - standing strong on its own without needing to mix and mingle with anyone else. So, remember, when it comes to pure substances, elements are the real MVPs.
If you mean "simplify", that means to make something simpler.
That can be a complicated process (although some curves are simpler than others). If the curvature can be described by an algebraic equation, then the area can be calculated by means of integral calculus. Alternatively, if you can fit simpler geometric shapes (such as squares and triangles) into the curved surface in a way that approximately fills that surface, you can use simpler means to calculate the area.
