Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 6/6 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 6.
To find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 6, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 6 (1, 2, 3, 6) and 6 (1, 2, 3, 6) we found that 6 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 6 is the largest common factor of 6 and 6, 6 is also the greatest common divisor of 6 and 6.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 6/6 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 6/6 = 1
Denominator: 6/6 = 1
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get 1/1.
1/1 is an improper fraction, which means we have to simplify further.
1 divided by 1 is 1, so the answer is:
1
The answer here happened to be a whole number, so you also could have simply divided 6 by 6 to get the same answer.
