To simplify a fraction like this you need to identify any common factors between top and bottom. In this case, both are even, so we can divide by 2. Doing this gives 462/1596. These are still both even, so we can divide by 2 again, giving 231/798. Both of these have a digit sum that can divide by 3, so we can divide top and bottom by 3. Doing this gives 77/266. Both top and bottom can divide by 7. Doing this gives 11/38. There are no more common factors, and so we've reached the fraction's simplest form.
