Question

Write 6/9 in lowest terms

Answer 1

Answer: 2/3

Simplifying fractions: Reducing the fraction to its lowest term by finding the greatest common factor and dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCF.

GCF: The greatest common factor is integer divisible by both numbers. This number will evenly divide into both the numerator and denominator in this case.

Simplest term: The smallest possible number that cannot be reduced further while remaining as an integer.

Factors of numerator (6): 1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of Denominator (9): 1, 3, 9

• both numbers have a common factor of 3 which is the greatest

Steps to Calculate:

1. Find the GCF

2. Divide numerator and denominator by GCF

6/3 = 2

9/3 = 3

Therefore, the lowest term would be 2/3

Answer 2

2/3 because you divide them both by 3
