We have to find a common factor that will divide into 3 and 6 and reduce the fraction.
This process is called cancelling
The only factor that is common to 3 and 6 is 3

r \Rightarrow \frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2}

in somplest form
This is usually written as follows.

\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3^{1}}{6^{2}} = \frac{1}{2}

A fraction is in simplest form when no other factor apart from 1 will divide into the numerator/denominator.

To create equivalent fractions we multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same value.

\Rightarrow \frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2}

- simplest form

\Rightarrow \frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{6}{12}
