Simplify the Fraction 15/20: Step-by-Step Reduction

Question

Simplify the given fraction to its simplest form:

$\frac{15}{20}=$

00:05 Let's start by reducing the fraction as much as possible.

00:09 We'll do this by dividing by the greatest common factor.

00:13 Remember to divide both the numerator and the denominator.

00:17 Now, calculate what you get after dividing.

00:21 And that's how we find the solution to the question!

We must identify the highest common factor (HCF): The largest number that both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by.

In this case, the number is 5, therefore:

$\frac{15:5}{20:5}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4}$
