6
When you make the number smaller, like 6/12= 1/2 A fraction in its simplest form can't be divided anymore evenly by whole numbers. Example: 6/12 divided by 2 is 3/6. And 3/6 can be divided by 3=1/2. Now that the fraction can't be divided any further without it ending up in a bunch of decimals, it is now in its simplest, or simplified form.

To convert a fraction to its lowest form, think of a number in which you can divide both the numerator and the denominator with that number. In this case 4/6 is a fraction with 4 as the numerator while 6 as the denominator. The number 2 can be divided with both 4 and 6. 4 divided by 2 is 2; while 6 divided by 2 is 3. Therefore the answer is 2/3. You can no longer reduce this to its lowest form. Victor
