Question

What is the simplest form of 6/18

Answer 1

All you have to do is divide both numbers (ones they both can go in).

Let's try 2.
$6/2=3\\18/2=9$

We get $\frac{3}{9}$.

A number still can go into both numbers evenly.
3 can go into both numbers.

$3/3=1\\9/3=3$
We finally get $\frac{1}{3}$.



Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

To convert a fraction into simplest form, we divide both the numbers by their HCF

HCF of both these numbers is 6.

Thus we divide them by 6

6/6 = 1
18/6 = 3

Thus the answer is 1/3
