#2/3#

Explanation:

Given that the value of the denominator and numerator are factors of 3; that being:

#2xx3=6#
and:
#3xx3=9#

Therefore, we can say that:
#6/9=(2xx3)/(3xx3)#

Cancelling out, both threes on the numerator and denominator, we get:

#2/3#

Therefore, the lowest term of the fraction #6/9# is #2/3#.
