The only factor that is common to 3 and 6 is #color(red)(3)#
#rArr3/6=(3÷3)/(6÷3)=1/2larr" in simplest form"#
This is usually written as follows.
#3/6=cancel(3)^1/cancel(6)^2=1/2#
A fraction is in #color(blue)"simplest form"# when no other factor apart from 1 will divide into the numerator/denominator.
