You divide the top and the bottom of 6/27 by 3.
6/3 = 2, 27/3 = 9
This is called reducing the fraction.

BASICALLY... u just find the lowest number that goes into both parts of the fraction.
so here it is 3.
3 goes into 6 twice. and into 27 9 times.
hence 2/9

6 3 * 2
_ =______
27 3 * 9
so, as 3 and 3 cancel out from numerator and denominator, remaining is 2/9.
let me know if this helped.
