When a fraction is in simplest form, the numerator and denominator do not have any common factors
is that right?

Simplest form means to reduce the fraction until neither can be divided by a common number anymore.
3
_
15
In this form, both numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) can be divided by 3.
3 / 3 = 1
15 / 3 = 5
Your reduced (simplest) answer is 1/5.

right.so the simplest form of 3/15 would be 1/5(because 3*5=15) to check you just multiply the numerator and denominator of the simple form(1/5) with a number(here 3) and you get back the question(3/15).

that's right. 1/5 is as simple as that fraction can get
(three can go into both the top & the bottom)
3 / 3= 1 (or, 3 * 1 = 3)
15 / 3= 5 (or, 3 * 5 = 15)
(3/15=0.2 ; 1/5=0.2 to check your answer)

LCF(3, 15) = 3
3/15 = 1/5
