First figure out if the numbers are even or odd. If they are even, then the numbers are divisible by 2. Odd numbers are a little bit trickier.
Example:
60/96
Both are even numbers, so they can be divided by 2.
60/96
60/2=30
96/2=48
30/2=15
48/2=24
15/3=5
24/3=8
Final answer is 5/8
Each time you divide, both the numerator and denominator have divided by the SAME number
