Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor).

Integer numbers prime factorization: 
18 = 2 × 3²; 
81 = 3⁴;

Take all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.Greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), gcf, gcd: 
gcf, gcd (18; 81) = 3² = 9;

Divide fraction's both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (divisor), gcf (gcd).

18/81 =
(2 × 3²)/3⁴ =
((2 × 3²) ÷ 3²) / (3⁴ ÷ 3²) 
=2/3²
 =2/9

Rewrite the end result:

2 ÷ 9 = 0.222222222222 as a decimal number.

They both have common factor as 3 so 18÷3=6
81÷3=27
again they have 3 as factor so
6÷3=2
27÷3=9
amswer is 2/9
