Como você escreve a fração $\frac{3}{6}$ $3 / 6$ da forma mais simples?

Responda:

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ $3/6=1/2$

Explicação:

We have to find a $common factor$ $color(blue)"common factor"$ that will divide into 3 and 6 and reduce the fraction.

This process is called $cancelling$ $color(blue)"cancelling"$

The only factor that is common to 3 and 6 is $3$ $color(red)(3)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2} \leftarrow in simplest form$ $rArr3/6=(3÷3)/(6÷3)=1/2larr" in simplest form"$

This is usually written as follows.

$3/6=cancel(3)^1/cancel(6)^2=1/2$

A fraction is in $color(blue)"simplest form"$ when no other factor apart from 1 will divide into the numerator/denominator.
