Question

6/12 simplified to the lowest terms

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

To simplify, we need to find a lowest common factor of 6 and 12. If we list the factors, we get this:

6: 1, 2, 3, 6

12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The bold numbers are the common factors. Our greatest common factor is 6. Next, we have to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6.

6 / 6 = 1

12 / 6 = 2

So we have the simplified version of 1/2 :)
