Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and the denominator of the ratio. If the GCF is 1 you are done. If not divide both, the numerator and the denominator, by the GCF and then you are done.
For example:
3/7: the GCF is 1 so the ratio cannot be simplified.
3/6: the GCF is 3 so the ratio is 1/2
