1. **Problem Statement:**
Understand and simplify a simple rational fraction.
2. **Formula and Rules:**
A simple fraction is expressed as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers and $b \neq 0$.
3. **Example:** Simplify $$\frac{6}{8}$$.
4. **Step 1: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of numerator and denominator.**
$$\text{GCD}(6,8) = 2$$
5. **Step 2: Divide numerator and denominator by the GCD:**
$$\frac{6}{8} = \frac{\cancel{2} \times 3}{\cancel{2} \times 4} = \frac{3}{4}$$
6. **Explanation:**
We reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their GCD to get the simplest form.
7. **Final Answer:**
$$\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$$
