(5/31) / (15/23) = (5*23) / (31*15) = 23/(31*3) = 23/93

Alright, so (5/31)/(15/23) can be found by multiplying the first number by the reciprocal of the second, which will turn out to be (5/31)*(23/15) in this case while equals 115/465. Since each number ends with 5, we can divide both of them by 5 to get 23/93
