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
$r⇒\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3÷3}{6÷3}=\frac{1}{2}$ 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.
$⇒\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3÷3}{6÷3}=\frac{1}{2}$ - simplest form
$⇒\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3×2}{6×2}=\frac{6}{12}$
