Answer:

52/60 in lowest terms is 13/15

Explanation:

Find prime factors for both numerator & denominator and rewrite the fraction in the form of prime factors

Prime factors for 52 = 2 x 2 x 13

Prime factors for 60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

= (2 x 2 x 13) / (2 x 2 x 3 x 5)

step 3 solve & rewrite the fraction

= ( 13)/( 3 x 5)

= 13/15

So therefore, 13/15 is the simplified fraction.
