What is 8/32 in simplest form

So the question is what is 8/32 in the simplest form. To find out we need to simplify the fraction. In this case the nominator and the denominator are both multiple of 8 so the nominator is 8=1*8 and 32=4*8 so we can write (1*8)/(4*8) and we see that we can cancel out number 8 and get 1/4 which is the simplest form of the fraction.

This does not make sense
