12/42
We note that both numbers are even, and so will cancel down (divide) by '2'.
Hence
12/42 = 6/21
Again we note that both numbers are multiples of '3'. So cancel down by '3'
Hence
6/21 = 2/7
2/7 will not cancel down any further as both '2' and '7' are prime numbers.
Hence 12/42 = 2/7
NB Fluency with your multiplication tables is critical for this method.
