For a fraction, find the highest (greatest) common factor of the numerator and denominator. Divide both by this value and that is the simplest form.

For a mixed number, leave the whole part as it is and apply the above method to the fractional part.

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.
