Simplest Form of

-2/6

Given Fraction:  
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 2 and 6 equals 2, GCF(2, 6) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
= =  (1 is the only factor common to 1 and 3)Therefore,  

-2/6

is equal to

-1/3

in Simplest Form:  

-2/6

=

-1/3

Note: Since the |-2| = 2, the GCF(-2, 6) = GCF(2, 6)
