Identify GCD: Identify the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (27) and the denominator (66).To simplify a fraction, we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. The GCD of 27 and 66 is 3.
Divide by GCD: Divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.Divide 66 by 3 to get 22.So, 6627 simplifies to 229.
Check for Further Simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified further. The numbers 9 and 22 do not have any common divisors other than 1, so the fraction is fully simplified.
