Answer 1

You find a number that will go into both 16 and 84.. since they are even you can always begin with 2.

16 / 2 8
-- = --
84 / 2 42

but 2 goes into both of those

8 /2 4
-- = --
42 /2 21


Or if you knew 4 went into both at the beginning you could have

16 / 4 4
-- = --
84 / 4 21

Answer 2

Find a common factor of both the numerator and denominator, and divide them by it. For example both 16 and 84 can be divided by 4 to become 4/21.
