There is no number to divide both evenly so in this case it's in its simplest form

It's already at the lowest term. It can't be simplified any farther.

When you reduce or simplify, you have to find a common number that both the numerator and denominator can be divide by. In this case there is no common number that can be divide into 2 and 9.

So, 2/9 is as simple as it's gonna get.

Hope this helps.
