What is -2/3 simplified?
That is as simplified as it gets.
Oh. I must have made a mistake. It is supposed to -2/3 cubed, or to the third power.
(-2/3)^3
= (-2)^3 / 3^3
= -8/27
To simplify the fraction -2/3, you can divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by their greatest common divisor (GCD) until no further division is possible.
To find the GCD of -2 and 3, you can first find the GCD of their absolute values, which in this case is 1. Since there are no common factors other than 1, the GCD of -2 and 3 is 1.
Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 1:
-2 ÷ 1 = -2
3 ÷ 1 = 3
So, the simplified fraction -2/3 remains the same.
Therefore, -2/3 is already in its simplest form and cannot be further reduced.
