Calculation:  Simplify the ratio,  153 [highest common factor of 15 and 3 is 3]  =15÷33÷3 [divide the numerator and denominator by 3]  =5  Since, the simplest form of the ratio 153 is 5.  Hence, the ratio is not in simplest form.  The ratio 153 can also be written as  153=15×23×2=306 [multiply the numerator and denominator by 2]  153=15×33×3=459 [multiply the numerator and denominator by 3]  Hence, the ratio 153 can also be written as 306 and 459.
