All three fractions have the same denominator (6). When denominators are the same, the fraction with the smallest numerator is the smallest.<br><br>
&bull; Compare numerators: 2, 1, 4<br>
&bull; Smallest numerator = 1<br>
&bull; So the smallest fraction is \( \frac{1}{6} \)<br><br>
Final Answer: \( \frac{1}{6} \)
