Given Fraction:
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 24 equals 3, GCF(15, 24) = 3
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
15/24
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator:
Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 24 equals 3, GCF(15, 24) = 3
Divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF:
15/24
= 15 ÷ 3/24 ÷ 3
= 5/8
(1 is the only factor common to 5 and 8)Therefore, 15/24
is equal to 5/8
in Simplest Form: 15/24
