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.

924 / 3192

Since both numbers are even they will cancel down by '2'

Hence

462 / 1596

Cancel down again by '2'

231 / 798

Cancel down by '3'

77 / 266

Cancel down '7'

11/38

This will not cancel down any further as '11' is a Prime number, and NOT a factor of '38'.

NB When simplifying any fraction 'cancel down by the prime numbers, 2,3,5.7, 11, 13, etc.,
