$\frac{75}{80}$
$\frac{75}{80}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{75}{80}$Factors of 75 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 25 and 75
Factors of 80 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 40 and 80 Common factors of 75 and 80 are 1 and 5 HCF of 75 and 80 is = 5 Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, we get: $\frac{75\div5}{80\div5}=\frac{15}{16}$ Therefore, the simplest form obtained is, $\frac{75}{80}=\frac{15}{16}$
