Reduce to simplest term.36/42

Explanation
To reduce a fraction to its simplest form, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. In this case, the GCD of 36 and 42 is 6. Dividing both 36 and 42 by 6 gives us 6/7, which is the simplest form of the fraction.
