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