I am assuming you are talking about fractions:
12/15, 9/24, 25/30....etc.
You need to find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the two numbers.
The GCD of 12 and 15 is 3. 3 will go into 12 four times and 3 will go into 15 five times. Thus, 12/15 in simplest form is
4/5. The GCD of 9 and 24 is 3. 3 will go into 9 three times and 3 will go into 24 eight times. Thus, 9/24 in simplest form is 3/8.
I hope this helped.

12 over 15 would be written as ,4 over 5, because 3 can divide evenly into both numbers...
so find the common denominator
