Problem: Simplify the following ratios.

The task requires simplifying each given ratio to its simplest form. To do this, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers in each ratio and then divide both numbers by their GCD.

Let's solve each ratio step by step:

---

#### 1) \( 65 : 15 \)

- Step 1: Find the GCD of 65 and 15.

- Common factors: \( 1, 5 \)
- GCD: \( 5 \)

- Step 2: Divide both numbers by their GCD (5).
\[
65 \div 5 = 13, \quad 15 \div 5 = 3
\]

- Simplified Ratio: \( 13 : 3 \)

---

- Common factors: \( 1, 3 \)
- GCD: \( 3 \)

- Step 2: Divide both numbers by their GCD (3).
\[
246 \div 3 = 82, \quad 39 \div 3 = 13
\]

- Simplified Ratio: \( 82 : 13 \)

---

#### 6) \( 98 : 112 \)

- Step 1: Find the GCD of 98 and 112.
