Simplify and Evaluate the following fraction:

First, evaluate the numerator and denominator

The numerator is 3
The denominator is 6

Reduce our fraction

GCF(3 and 6) = 3

Reduce the numerator by GCF

(1/3) x 3 = 1

Reduce the denominator by GCF

(1/3) x 6 = 2

Build our reduced answer

1/2

You entered a fraction. We need to convert this fraction number to a mixed number.
Let's find the whole number first. The formula for this is:
(Numerator/Denominator) in whole numbers

Using the fraction you entered of 3/6, let's evaluate:
Whole Number = 3 / 6 = 0.5
Whole Number = Integer(0.5)
Whole Number = 0

Now we find the fractional portion of the mixed number. The formula for that is:

(Numerator - Denominator x Whole Number)
Denominator

Using the values we entered and calculated, we get:

Fraction Portion =	(3 - 6 x 0)
	6

Fraction Portion =	3 - 0
	6

Fraction Portion =	3
	6

Now combine both pieces and piece together the mixed number:
Mixed Number = Whole Number & fraction Portion
Mixed Number = 0 & 3/6

Final Answer

1/2
