5/6 because 10 divided by two is 5. And 12 divided by two is 6. So if you want to simplify the fraction, find a number that both are divisible by. So 10/12 divided by 2 equals 5/6 and 5/6 can't be simplified so the simplest form is 5/6. Hope this helped, ;)

Answer:
(5)/(6)


Explanation:

Given fraction=
(10)/(12)

Here numerator=10

Denominator=12

We know that 10 and 12 both are multiples of 2 such that


10=2*5


12=2*6

Therefore, to write the given fraction in simplest form, divide numerator and denominator by 2 , we get


(10)/(12)=(5)/(6)
