6/8 smiplified

Woah, Sasini, that is really confusing, they ment simplifying not dividing

if you have 6/8, find a number that goes into both of them AKA 2

6/2 and 8/2 that is 3 and 4

so your answer is 3/4

The problem listed here is basic fraction reducement. Super useful. 

 

6/8 can be reduced. To do so, we have to find the greatest common factor of BOTH 6 and 8. In this case, it is 2. 

 

6/2=3, and 8/2=4.

 

We plug it back in, and now the fraction is 3/4. 

 

Sometimes, the fraction can be simplified again, if you don't use the greatest common factor. However, it's not vital to use it. It's just much faster. 

 

In this case, 3/4 is the most simplified fraction because one of the numbers (3) is a prime number. Prime numbers are numbers who only multiples are itself and one. (Speaking whole numbers.) Since anything divided by one is just itself, this fraction is simplfied. 

 

Final Answer: 3/4

 

Hope this helps!

6/8

 6 number / 2 and 8 number/2

that is the answer......
