Simplifying Fraction 16/1 by Dividing by the Smallest Possible Number

In order to simplify our fraction we can start dividing both the numerator [16] and denominator [1] by the smallest possible number (2,3,4,5... and so on), and repeat this until it is impossible to divide without a reminder.

In our case (16/1) there is no possible numbers to divide our numerator and denominator.
