hello! I’m taking basic algebra in college right now and I never learned how to simplify fractions in grade school or high school because I never really tried to learn but now I want to so I can make sure I’m doing it right. I’m having a hard time with it and everything I’ve googled just doesn’t make sense to me. Please help.

Given a fraction, you can divide both sides by any number (except 0) without changing the result. 20/40 is the same as 2/4, which is the same as 1/2. A simplified fraction is one where you can’t divide both sides by an integer greater than 1 and still end up with all integers.
