Simplify (15sg)/(-5g)

$\frac{15 s g}{- 5 g}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $15$ and $- 5$ .

Factor $5$ out of $15 s g$ .

$\frac{5 (3 s g)}{- 5 g}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $5$ out of $- 5 g$ .

$\frac{5 (3 s g)}{5 (- g)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 (3 s g)}{5 (- g)}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{3 s g}{- g}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $g$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 s g}{- g}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{3 s}{- 1}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{3 s}{- 1}$ .

$- 1 \cdot (3 s)$

Step 3

Simplify the expression.

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot (3 s)$ as $- (3 s)$ .

$- (3 s)$

Multiply $3$ by $- 1$ .

$- 3 s$
