how do i express this fraction in lowest terms 3 fithts and six ninths
3/5 is the lowest terms.
6/9
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.
6/9 = 2/3
3/5 and 6/9
okay so 6 and 9 can be divided by 3 so 6 divided by 3 is 2 so 2 is your numerator and 9 divided by 3 is 3, so 3 is your denominator.
2/3
3/5 is already in its lowest terms. unless you did 1 and a half/2 and a half
To express a fraction in its lowest terms, you need to simplify it by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, and then dividing both by the GCD.
Let's simplify the fraction 3/5ths and 6/9ths separately:
For the fraction 3/5ths:
- In this case, the numerator is already a prime number, so we move to the denominator.
- The factors of 5 are 1 and 5. Since there are no common factors between 3 and 5, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
For the fraction 6/9ths:
- In this case, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 3.
- The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 6 and 9 is 3.
- Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3, we get 6/9 = 2/3.
Therefore, the fraction 3/5ths is already in its lowest terms, and 6/9ths simplifies to 2/3.
