divide numerator and denominator by least common denominator, in this case 3
15 div by 3 = 5
24 div by 3 = 8
thus you get: 5/8

Divide both by the highest number that goes into both numbers. In this case; 3.
15/3 = 5; 24/3 = 8
so, in simplified terms, the answer is
5/8

Ok, i know this.
First, you find the least common multiple.
15-3
24 -3
3-is the least common multiple.
Now you divideby three.
15/3=5
24/3=8
So the answer is 5/8

look for common multiples of each:
15 = 5*3
24 = 3*2*2*2
Each contain a 3, so divide each by 3:
15/3 = 5
24/3=8
ANS: 5/8
