1. The problem is to find the lowest terms of the fraction $\frac{3}{52}$. 2. To simplify a fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). 3. Find the GCD of 3 and 52. 4. The factors of 3 are 1 and 3. 5. The factors of 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52. 6. The only common factor is 1, so $\gcd(3,52) = 1$. 7. Since the GCD is 1, the fraction $\frac{3}{52}$ is already in its lowest terms. 8. Therefore, the lowest term of $\frac{3}{52}$ is $\frac{3}{52}$ itself.
