Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 22 equals 2, GCF(6, 22) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
22/6
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 6 and 22 equals 2, GCF(6, 22) = 2
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
22/6
