fractions can be simplified by finding the highest common factor for both 15 and 20 and dividing the numerator by the highest common factor

15 - 1,3,5,15

20,-,1,2,4,5,10,20

the greatest common factor is 5

so divide both by 5

[tex] \frac{20/5}{15/5} = \frac{x4}{3} [/tex]

this can be written as a proper fraction

in 4/3 there's one whole number and 1/3 remaining
