Express 3 divided by 5 as a fraction.

To write a fraction in its simplest form means the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same whole number exactly or evenly.

Answer: The value of  3 divided by 5 as a fraction is 3/ 5.

Let us write 3 divided by 5 as a fraction.

Explanation:

We can write 3 divided by 5 as 3/5.

Both numbers, 3 and 5 are the prime numbers. Therefore, the GCF or the greatest common factor of 3 and 5 is 1.
