Question

What is 72/60 in simplest form

Answer 1

Okay so we know your problem is 72/60
So, first find out how many times 60 can go into 72
This is 1 so right now we have. 1 12/60 right?
Now this still isn't simplest form so what number can go into bolth 12 and 60?
12 right?
Okay, so 4 x 3 = 12 so now we have 1 3/60
Now lets deal with 60 15 x 4 = 60. now we have 1 3/15
We can still make it smaller so we know 3 can go into 3 and 15 so lets use 3
1 ~ 3 = 1 so we have 1 1 / 15
5 x 3 = 15
So your answer is....

1 1 / 15

Answer 2

You have to divide both by common factor, in this case it's 12
So 72/60 = 6/5
Thus, 6/5 is the simplest form.
