Question

What is 6/100 in simplest form?

Answer 1

$\frac{6}{100}= \frac{3}{50} -is \ an \ irreductible\ fracton$

Answer 2

Both 6 and 100 have a common factor 2
Dividing 6 by 2 you get 3
Dividing 100 by 2 you get 50
3 and 50 don't have any common factors and hence they cannot be simplified further.
Hence 6/100 = 3/50
