Let's see -
First, take a close look at the fraction's numerator and denominator. In this case, the numerator is 8 and the denominator is 9.[tex] \frac{8}{9} [/tex]
Then, ask yourself, "What number goes into 8 and 9 evenly?"
Now, while you think about reducing these numbers, you find out that [tex] \frac{8}{9} [/tex] is already in it's simplest form.
Of course, you could say 1 goes into both numbers evenly, but it doesn't change it.
So, therefore, [tex] \frac{8}{9} [/tex] is already simplified.
