QuestionSimplify the fraction $\frac{2}{6}$ .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The fraction we want to simplify is $\frac{}{6}$

STEP 2

To simplify a fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. The GCD is the largest number that can divide both numbers without leaving a remainder.

STEP 3

The factors of2 are1 and2. The factors of6 are1,2,3, and6. The greatest common factor (GCF) of2 and6 is2.

STEP 4

Now that we have the GCD, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the GCD to simplify the fraction.
$\frac{2}{6} = \frac{2 \div2}{6 \div2}$

STEP 5

Perform the division to simplify the fraction.
$\frac{2 \div2}{ \div2} = \frac{1}{3}$ So, $\frac{2}{}$ in simplest form is $\frac{1}{3}$ .
