Well, honey, if you divide 51 by 3, you get 17. So, technically, 3 goes into 51 seventeen times. Math doesn't lie, darling.
divide both by three 51/3 = 17 69/3 = 23 17 over 23
While 17 is a prime number, it will go into 51 three times exactly. Thus if you divide both top and bottom of 17/51 by 17, you get 1/3 which is the simplest form.
1/3 (one third). Divide the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by the same common factor. Which is 17: 17 ÷ 17 = 1 51 ÷ 17 = 3
