I'll try to make it as simple as I can.
38/57
Both the numerator and denominator are multiples of 19.
19*2 = 38
19*3 = 57
(19*2)/(19*3) = 38/57
19 and 19 cancel each other out.
Therefore, we get :-
2/3 = 38/57
The simplest form is 2/3

The greatest common divisor of 38 and 57 is 19. Divide numerator and denominator by 19 and you've got it.

2/3
we know that both 38 and 57 divide into 19 (GCF), so we divide by 19 and get 2 over 3.
