Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 15/715 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 15 and 715.
To find the greatest common divisor of 15 and 715, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 15 (1, 3, 5, 15) and 715 (1, 5, 11, 13, 55, 65, 143, 715) we found that 5 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 5 is the largest common factor of 15 and 715, 5 is also the greatest common divisor of 15 and 715.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 15/715 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 15/5 = 3
Denominator: 715/5 = 143
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
15/715 to the simplest form is:
3/143
