what is 2/3 simplified

Question

need to know what 2/3 simplified is

Answer 1

2/3 is in it's simplest fractional form. There are no factors in both the numerator and denominator to be removed. For example, in the fraction 14/16, you can divide the top and bottom by 2. 14 / 2 = 7, and 16 / 2 = 8, so 14/16 can be reduced to 7/8.

The fraction 2/3 may also be expressed in decimal form. You do that by dividing 2 by 3. You will notice that it is a repeating decimal, 0.6666..., meaning there is no decimal equivalent of 2/3, only an approximation of .666, and the more 6's you include the closer you get to 2/3.
