Question

What is 6/18 simplified

Answer 1

Answer: 1/3

Explanation:

First think of what is the GCF (greatest common factor of 6 and 18) the answer is 6. because the factors of 6 are 1,2,3,6. the factors of 18 are 1,2,3,6,9,18. they both share 1,2,3, and 6. so those are common. but GCF is asking for the greatest one, so 6 is the GCF.

Divide the top and bottom by 6:

`(6)/(18) / 6 = (1)/(3)`

Numerator: 6/6 = 1

Denominator: 18/6 = 3

So the final answer is 1/3
