Best Answer

divide both numbers (if even, as in your case) by 2. It equals 3/15. Since you can continue, divide again, but this time, they are both divisible by 3, so divide by 3. It equals 1/5. Since you can no longer divide evenly, 6/30 simplified is 1/5.

or, a faster way is

divide 6/30 by 6. It still equals 1/5.
