Question

How do I reduce 3/36

Answer 1

I would find a common factor between the numerator and the denominator.

Numerator:

1 and 3

Denominator:

1 and 36 

2 and 18

3 and 12  <--

4 and 9 

3 in the lowest comment multiple

$\frac{3}{36}$

3/3 = 1

36/3 = 12

So, the answer is $\frac{1}{12}$

Answer 2

To simplify this fraction you would divide by the fraction 3/3 and this fraction would then reduce to 1/12
