Can someone please explain how to find the limiting reactant thoroughly?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it is a matter of figuring out what limiting reactant is just like one bike would have two wheels and one frame. when you have 6 wheels but have 4 frames. it would turn out that your limiting reactant in this example is wheel since you can only create 3 bikes though you have 4 frames. you will run out of wheels before frames. let us turn this around to a different scenario. let us say that you have 3 frames but 8 wheels. in this example it would turn out that you will run out of frames before wheels.
