What is 1/2 (½) Simplified?

Answer

Fraction 1/2 simplified to lowest terms is
1/2 (½)

= 0.5

Already in lowest terms: GCF(1, 2) = 1

Why 1/2 cannot be reduced

1
2

1 and 2 share no prime factor: GCF = 1.

FAQ

What is 1/2 (½) Simplified?

Fraction 1/2 simplified to lowest terms is 1/2 (½)

What is 1/2 (½) as a decimal?

Divide the reduced numerator by the reduced denominator: 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5. Reducing the fraction first does not change the value, only the numbers you divide.

What is the GCF of 1 and 2?

The Greatest Common Factor of 1 and 2 is 1, and dividing the numerator and the denominator by it is what brings the fraction to 1/2 (½). A GCF of 1 means the fraction is already in lowest terms.

Can 1/2 be reduced?

No: 1 and 2 share no prime factor, so their GCF is 1 and 1/2 is already in lowest terms.
