Answer:

5

3 is already in the simplest form. It can be written as 1.666667 in decimal form (rounded to 6 decimal places).

Steps to simplifying fractions

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 5 and 3 is 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

5 ÷ 1

3 ÷ 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reduced fraction:

5

3

Therefore, 5/3 simplified to lowest terms is 5/3.
