What is 15/100 in simplest form

Asked by Link1

Answer (3)

To make a fraction into simplest form you have to find the greatest common factor. In this case it is 5. So then you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 5. 15÷5=3 100÷5=20 There is no factors that go into both 3 and 20 so simplest form is 3/20.

to simplify the given fraction 100 15 ​ we have to divide both numerator and denominator by the highest common factor
the factors for both 15 and 100 are as follows
15 - 1, 3, 5, 15
100 - 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
from the factors given for both 15 and 100, the highest factor common for both is 5.
therefore we have to divide both numerator and denominator by 5
100/5 15/5 ​ = 20 3 ​
the simplest form for the fraction is 20 3 ​
