First, you find a number that goes into both 12 and 30. This number is two. Two goes into 12, six times and 30, fifteen times. So now you have to find a number that goes into both six and fifteen. This number is 3. Three goes into six two times and fifteen five times. There is no number that can go into 2 & 5 besides one. So two fifths (2/5) is your simplified fraction. or two over five.
