Break Down 27: Let's break down 27 into its prime factors.27=3×9But 9 is not a prime number, so we need to break it down further.9=3×3So, 27=3×3×3
Break Down 54: Now let's break down 54 into its prime factors.54=2×27And we already know that 27=3×3×3So, 54=2×3×3×3
Write Fraction in Prime Form: Now we write the fraction in prime factored form. 5427=(2×3×3×3)(3×3×3)
Cancel Common Factors: We can now cancel out the common factors.(3×3×3)/(2×3×3×3)=1/2 after canceling out the 3s.
