Know more about simplest form of a fraction:

• For example, ¾ is the simplest form of a fraction that has a common factor equal to 1. But 2/4 is not the simplest form, because 2/4 can further be simplified and written as ½. Here, we can also say, ½ and 2/4 are equivalent fractions.
• A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom of the fraction are whole numbers that are coprime to each other.

Steps to be followed for finding the simplest form of a fraction:

• Find the GCF of numerator and denominator of the fraction
• Divide the numerator and denominator by the produced GCF
• Write the simplified fraction of the given fraction

Example:

(i) 3/6

Let us find the GCF of 3 and 6.

GCF (3,6) = 3

So, 3/6 = (3 x 1)/(3 x 2) = ½

Hence, ½ is the solution.
