You find a common factor for the numerator and the denominator and divide both of them by this factor. Repeat until the common factor is 1 - that is, the two are coprime.
Alternatively, you can find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and divide them by it. This method requires more effort in finding the GCF but there is only one set of divisions.
