#4/6 = 2/3#

Explanation:

Fractions can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. This is the same as dividing by #1# which does not change the value of the fraction, just what it looks like.

In #4/6# we see both numbers are even. We can divide both by #2#

#4/6 (div2)/(div2) = 2/3#

You could also write #4/6# as the product of factors:

#4/6 = (cancel2xx2)/(cancel2xx3)" "larr# cancel the like factors

#=2/3#
