Answer
$\frac{162}{108}$
Factors of 162 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81 and 162
Factors of 108 are 108, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27 and 54
Common factor of 162 and 108 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54
HCF of 162 and 108 is = 54
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 54, we get:
$\frac{162\div54}{108\div54}=\frac{3}{2}$
Therefore, the simplest form obtained is,
$\frac{162}{108}=\frac{3}{2}$
