Same amount, fewer parts

Step-by-step solution

The problem

\frac{6}{30}

  1. Find the greatest common factor. List the factors of each:
    Factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, 6
    Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
    The greatest common factor (GCF) is 6.

    \text{GCF}(6, 30) = 6

  2. Divide the top and bottom by 6. Dividing both by the same number keeps the value the same.

    = \frac{6 \div 6}{30 \div 6} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{5}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &\frac{6}{30} \\[8pt] &= \frac{6 \div 6}{30 \div 6} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{divide by 6}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{1}{5}}\end{aligned}
