23/5
The fraction 23/5 is already in its simplest form.
To evaluate the fraction 23/5, simply divide the numerator (23) by the denominator (5).
23 ÷ 5 = 4 remainder 3
So, the fraction 23/5 can be written as a mixed number: 4 3/5.

Let's perform the division:
________
5 | 23
To find the quotient, we divide 23 by 5:
4.6
However, the question asks for the answer in simplest form. Since 4.6 is a decimal, we need to convert it to a fraction:
4.6 = 46/10
