To simplify the fraction \( \frac{125}{18} \), we can check if there are any common factors between the numerator (125) and the denominator (18).
1. The prime factorization of 125 is \( 5^3 \) (since \( 125 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \)).
2. The prime factorization of 18 is \( 2 \times 3^2 \) (since \( 18 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \)).
Since there are no common factors between 125 and 18, the fraction \( \frac{125}{18} \) is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, the simplified form of \( \frac{125}{18} \) is simply \( \frac{125}{18} \).
If you want it as a mixed number, it can be represented as:
\[
6 \frac{13}{18}
\]
Thus, the simplified form is \( \frac{125}{18} \) or as a mixed number \( 6 \frac{13}{18} \).
