It is in the simplest form because 8 and 15 do not have any common factors.
The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.
As you can see, they don't share any factors.
If you had 8 over 16, then you could simplify it because they share the common factor of 8 (it would simplify to 1 over 2).

Since nothing divides into both 8 and 15 evenly there are no common factors. This means that the simplest form is 8/15.

Since 8 and 15 have no common factors besides 1 (8:1,2,4,8; 15:1,3,5,15) 8/15 is in the simplest form. You cannot do anything to simplify it more.
