Question

12/15 in simplest form

Answer 1

$\frac{12}{15}$ in simplest form:

First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12, 15. 
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
The GCF is 3. 
Second, divide the numerator (12) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Third, divide the denominator (15) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 15 ÷ 3 = 5
Fourth, rewrite the fraction in the simplified form. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{4}{5}$

Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12, 15. 

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15

The GCF is 3. 

Second, divide the numerator (12) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Third, divide the denominator (15) by the GCF. / Your problem should look like: 15 ÷ 3 = 5

Fourth, rewrite the fraction in the simplified form. / Your problem should look like:
