You look for common factors, and divide both numerator and denominator by the same factor. For example, 9/12 has the common factor 3, if you divide numerator and denominator by 3, you get 3/4.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

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.
