for simplifying 420/15 we check if these both numbers are divisible by any one number ...
here these no:s can be divided by 5 ..

450/15 =84/3 = 28/1 ....
therefore the simplified form of 420/15 is 28/1 or 28 ...

Hope it helps !!!

So,

In order to simplify a fraction, we have to factor both the numerator and the denominator.

(420)/(15) --\ \textgreater \ (2*2*3*5*7)/(3*5)

Cross out ones.

(2*2*7)/(1)\ or\ 28
