Explanation:

Turn 4 into 4/1. Then switch 4/1 or 16/17 because I don't know which to switch. If you don't know what I'm talking about, when you switch 4/1 or 16/17, you'll get 1/4 or 17/16. Then you multiply 1/4 × 16/17 or 4/1 × 17/16. You multiply across, like this, 1 × 16 and 4× 17 Same thing with 4/1 × 17/16 but backwards (4×17 and 1×16). Do both equation (4/1 × 17/16 and 1/4 × 16/17) by yourself, then simplest it. Example: 2/4 = 1/2. You divide 2/4 by two, 2÷2 for the numerator and 4÷2 for the denominator. That how you simply.
