simplify the following fraction: \\(\frac{12}{15}\\)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCD of 12 and 15

The factors of 12 are \(1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12\), and factors of 15 are \(1, 3, 5, 15\). The greatest common divisor (GCD) is 3.

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCD

Divide numerator \(12\) and denominator \(15\) by 3: \(\frac{12\div3}{15\div3}=\frac{4}{5}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{5}\)
