Answer:

Well to find simplest terms you have to find the GCF. (greatest common factor) for the numerator and the denominator

Explanation:

So lets say you have 4/8 they both can be divided by 2. So that is what you do. Divide by two on the numerator and the denominator to get 1/2.

Also, if you have 3/5 you can't simplify it anymore because it is already in the lowest terms.

I hope that helped. If you have any questions just ask.
