if you mean simplify a mixed number, like 1 6/12, then you take a number that divides into both numbers that is not 1, as in this case, it would be 2 or 3 or 6. Let's take 3. Now the number is simplified into 1 2/4. Then, continue dividing again until no more whole numbers can be used except for 1. The solution to the question above would be 1 1/2.
