Hey there! :D
When a fraction is still divisible by a number, then it is not in it's simplest form.
For example, 3/6.
I know for a fact that 6/3=2 <== 3 is also divisible by itself.
3/6 (3/3=1) (6/6=1)
1/2 <== simplest form.
Try the same with 2/4.
4 is divisible by 2.
4/2= 2
2/2=1
1/2 is the simplest form.
I hope this helps!
