To find the simplest form of the fraction p/q first find the highers common factor of p and q. If HCF(p, q) = 1 then the fraction is already in its simplest form and there is nothing to be done. Otherwise, divide p by the HCF to give r, divide q by HCF to give s and the simplest form is r/s.

Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
