Say that the fraction is 6\28. what number can be divided into 6 and 28? 2 because 28 divided by 2 equals 14 and 6 divided by 2 equals 3. So then you have 3\14.
To simplify a fraction, you must find a number both the numerator and denominator can be divided into, and divide. Say I have 4/6. Both numbers are divisible by 2, so I simplify the fraction to 2/3. As we can no longer divide, the fraction is in simplest form. Hope this helps!
