The fraction \( \frac{1}{2} \) is already a proper fraction because its numerator (1) is less than its denominator (2). It cannot be simplified further into an improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator) or an integer (whole number). Therefore, \( \frac{1}{2} \) is in its simplest form as a proper fraction.
simplify 1/2 to a proper fraction, an improper fraction, or integer.
