Question

Which of the following is the lowest form of $\frac{9}{6}$?

• A. $\frac{3}{2}$
• B. $\frac{9}{6}$
• C. $\frac{4}{6}$
• D. $\frac{18}{12}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{3}{2}$

Lowest form of any fraction will be an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and the denominator have no common factor except 1.
To convert given fraction to its lowest form, we divide both the numerator and the denominator with the common factor of both the numbers.

Here, 3 is the common factor of both 9 and 6, so let us divide numerator and denominator by 3.

$\frac{9÷3}{6÷3}=\frac{\frac{9}{3}}{\frac{6}{3}}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Now, $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the simplest form as numerator and denominator have no common factor except 1.
