You can tell that it is not simplified if they are both even, as they can be divided by 2, or really, if both numbers have a common factor as a divisor.

For example, 3/6 has a common of factor by 3, 3/3 / 3/6 = 1/2.

\cfrac{3x^2}{xy}\cdot \cfrac{4xy^2}{\frac{1}{y}}\implies \cfrac{3x^2}{xy}\cdot \cfrac{4xy^2}{y^{-1}}\implies \cfrac{3x^2x^1y^2}{xy^1y^{-1}}\implies \cfrac{3x^{2+1}y^2}{xy^{1-1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3x^3y^2}{xy^0}\implies \cfrac{3x^3y^2}{x^1}\implies 3x^3y^2x^{-1}\implies 3x^{3-1}y^2\implies 3x^2y^2$
