If either the numerator or denominator is prime, you need to check that the other is not divisible by that prime. If it is then the prime is a common factor and the fraction simplifies either to a unit factor or an integer. Otherwise, there is no simplification possible.


For example, consider the prime 7.


7/21 = 1/3 is a unit fraction.

63/7 = 9 is an integer.


22/7 and 7/22 cannot be simplified.

How can you check to see if a fraction is written in simplest form of a fraction?

You have to make sure both the numerator and denominator are prime numbers, and if they aren't, then it's not in simplest form. Also, the denominator shouldn't be divisible by the numerator, which sort of falls in to the prime number category. Hope this helped. :) I'm really good with numbers. :)
