List out the set of one-digit prime numbers: {2, 3, 5, 7}
Note: The value 1 is NOT a prime number

The largest single digit prime is 7. So the denominator will be 7.

Since 7 is prime, this means the only factors are 1 and 7. The smaller of those factors is 1. So the numerator is 1.

The fraction is 1/7
