See explanation.

Explanation:

To simplify a fraction youu have to divide both its numerator and denominator by the same number.

Examples:

a)

39=1333=13

In this example I reduced the fraction by 3.

b)

1632=82162=816

816=4282=48

48=2224=24

24=1222=12

In this example I reduced the original fraction gradually. Instead of that I could reduce the fraction by 16

1632=116216=12
