Explanation:

1/2*6

For multiplication, you can multiply numbers without having to deal with a GCD or LCD. The 6 is by itself, but remember that it is equivalent to 6/1.

=1/2*6= 1/2*6/1

Method 1
=1/2*6/1

For multiplication, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
=(1*6)/(2*1)=6/2=3

Method 2
=1/2*6/1

Cancel out the terms by dividing by the greatest common factor which is 2.
=1/(2/2)*(6/2)/1=1/1*3/1=3/1=3
