Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 10 and 15 equals 5, GCF(10, 15) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
10/15
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 10 and 15 equals 5, GCF(10, 15) = 5
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
10/15
= 10 ÷ 5/15 ÷ 5
= 2/3
(1 is the only factor common to 2 and 3)Therefore, 10/15
is equal to 2/3
in Simplest Form: 10/15
= 2/3
