It's 1/2 :) Because 17 divided by 34 is 0.5 which is a half

When you're finding a fraction in the simplest form, you have to find a common multiple, and the best way to do this is to list the multiples. 17- 1,17 34- 1,2,17,34. In this case, the common multiple is 17, therefore, you need to divide both sides by 17. 17/17= 1. 34/17=2. Therefore, 17/34 in the simplest form is 1/2. Hope this helps :)
