To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, we can find the prime factorization of both numbers.
The prime factorization of 6 is 2 * 3.
The prime factorization of 15 is 3 * 5.
To find the GCF, we look for the common prime factors between the two numbers. The only common prime factor is 3.
Therefore, the GCF of 6 and 15 is 3.
To simplify the fraction 6/15, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF.
6/3 = 2
15/3 = 5
So the simplified fraction is 2/5.
The correct option is 2/5.
