Answer:
We have to find a
common factor
that will divide into 18 and 54 and reduce the fraction.
This process is referred to as
cancelling
If you can see that 18 is a factor of 18 and 54 then the fraction can be simplified immediately.
⇒

A fraction is in
simplest form
when no other factor apart from 1 will divide exactly into the numerator/denominator.
Otherwise, begin with the lowest common factor, and continue the process until simplified form is reached.
