Question

Simplify 15/64 please

Answer 1

Simplifying fractions are easy. You find a number that will go evenly into the top and bottom of the fraction.

If you cannot find a number that will that, it means the fraction is it's simplest form.

Now, what will go into 15 and 64 evenly?
I first thought of 3. While that will go evenly into 15, it won't for 64.
I then thought of 5 but of course that won't do either.

I then realized this fraction is already in it's simplest form! So, you can't reduce this fraction anymore.

Answer 2

15/64
Find a common factor 15 and 64 have.
15 is odd, and the only two factors 15 has is 3 and 5.
64 cannot be divided by 3 or 5.
15/64 is already simplified.
