Best Answer

Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. The answer will be the simplest form. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.

6/8 is the same as 3/4

This is found by dividing 6 and 8 by 2, their GCF.

3/4 is the simplest form of 6/8

Simplest form is also known as lowest terms.

Keeping in mind that "percent" literally means "per hundred", you can easily make this into a fraction by putting the number we have over 100. .9 / 100 However, decimals in fractions are ugly. So to make this a simple fraction, let's multiply the top and bottom by 10 to move the decimal one place to the right in the numerator: .9 * 10 = 9 100 * 10 = 1000 So your resulting fraction is 9/1000.
