The first number after the decimal point represents the number of 'tenths' - in this case, 7 tenths - or 7/10
1.7 is therefore 1 and 7/10ths , or to put it another way, 10 tenths + 7 tenths = 17/10
Nothing divides into both 17 and 10 (except 1) so you can't simplify this, it can only be shown as 17/10
