Answer :
To simplify, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 5 and 30 and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF.
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30
Factors of 5: 1, 5
The GCF = 5
[tex] \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30
Factors of 5: 1, 5
The GCF = 5
[tex] \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
