hmm its already in lowest terms unless u are looking for the conbined answer above

im going to assume its a fraction times a fraction as u didnt specify???

1x and 1 y can be cross cancelled
12/2=6
6 goes into 24 4 times
thats simplified

im going to assume its a fraction times a fraction as u didnt specify???
factor trinomials

thats as simplified as i know how to get it
