divide by 3
Divide both numerator and denominator by 2.30/56 = 15/28
You find the highest common factor of both numbers and divide each number by it.
The idea is to look for common factors, between the 15 and the 100. Then, divide both numbers by this common factor.
Divide by 10 to get 1.5
15/20 = 3/4 Divide both 15 and 20 by 5.

Well you would simplify it from 15/20 to 3/4 because you divide both the denominator and the numerator by 5. After that you divide 3 by 4 and you get 0.75. You could have also just divided 15 by 20 but it helps to simplify it first.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor. In this fraction, that's 15.

Take the gcf (greatest common factor) of 15 and 60 and divide both the numerator and the denominator by that number.

Find their highest common factor, which is 4. Then divide both elements by 4. That gives you 15 over 1, which can be simplified as 15.
