Divide top and bottom by any common factors of them.

Dividing by the highest common factor of the top and bottom numbers results in the simplest form.

hcf(12, 15) = 3, so divide top and bottom by 3:

12/15 = (12÷3)/(15÷3)

= 4/5

How do you reduce 17 over 12 into a smaller fraction?

You NEVER "reduce" a fraction into a "smaller fraction". That would change its value. The whole idea that runs through everything you do in math is that you only change the way something looks, but you never change the size of the real number that it represents. 17/12 can't be reduced to any other fraction with lower terms. But if you want to, you can write it as 15/12 instead. That doesn't change anything. The two forms are still exactly the same number.
