$2/3$

Given that the value of the denominator and numerator are factors of 3; that being:

$2xx3=6$
and:
$3xx3=9$

Therefore, we can say that:
$6/9=(2xx3)/(3xx3)$

Cancelling out, both threes on the numerator and denominator, we get:

$2/3$

Therefore, the lowest term of the fraction $6/9$ is $2/3$ .
