Simplifying Energy Capacity Variance

A facility manager is analyzing the energy capacity of two storage systems. System A is currently at 715\frac{7}{15} of its full capacity, while System B is at 1924\frac{19}{24}. To calculate the difference in their charge levels (7151924\frac{7}{15} - \frac{19}{24}), the manager determines a common denominator of 120 and subtracts the numerators to find an intermediate difference of 39120\frac{-39}{120}. According to the simplification step described in the course, what is the common factor used to divide both the numerator and the denominator, and what is the final simplified result?
