Im sorry but I am frustrated with this one. I have been trying to go over this one problem trying to get it into lowest terms. Can you explain it to me?

75/100 in lowest terms step by step. the answer it says in the book is 3/4 but i like to know how they came up with that answer. I tried on my own but i cant get the right factor into both 75 and 100
