Simplify the Fraction: Reducing 1/15 to Lowest Terms

Question

Reduce the given fraction into its simplest form:

$\frac{1}{15}=$

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

00:09 Find the greatest common factor, or G C F, of the numerator and denominator.

00:14 Now, divide both the top, and the bottom by this number.

00:18 Calculate what each of those divisions equals.

00:22 And there you have it! That's the solution to our fraction problem.

Let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and the denominator.

In this case, that number is 1, so:

$\frac{1:1}{15:1}=\frac{1}{15}$

Therefore, it cannot be simplified further
