How do you simplify 15/32?

It is actually impossible, because 15 and 32 have no common factors.

Factor each nmber down to prime factors. If they have any factors in common, they can be simplified.

15 is 5 times 3

32 is 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2

No factors in common.

That is as simplified as it will get.

Sorry!
