Well, you first have to find the greatest common factor of both of them.
225:1,3,5,9,15,25,45,75,225
60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
So, 15 looks like it is the number you divide both 225 and 60 by.
225 / 15 = 15
60 / 15 = 4
15/4 = 3 3/4 = 3.75
So, 3 3/4 is the fraction of 225/60 in simplest form.
I hope this helps! :)
P.S. Ms. Sue is also correct!

There is no need to find common denominators when either multiplying or dividing fractions
You only need to do that when adding or subtracting them

I know that Reiny. I didn't find the common denominator, I was just finding a number that both can be divided by to simplify the problem further from 225/60.
I was just trying to explain how you simplify fractions by finding a number that can go into both(This can be called Greatest Common factor, soooo....). Then, you just divide those numbers by that number that goes into both. That's what I always do, and I always get it correct.
Sorry if I confused anyone..... ._.
