Math Problem Solver

Begin by converting any decimals to fractions and finding the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the given numbers. $$\frac{1}{3}, - \frac{1}{2}$$$$\operatorname{lcm}(3, 2) = 6$$

Then multiply each of the numbers by the LCD. This will convert all the numbers in the ratio to integers. $$2 : -3$$

Then find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the resulting numbers. $$\operatorname{gcd}(2, -3) = 1$$

And finally divide each number in the ratio by the GCD to get the simplified ratio. $$2 : -3$$
