To determine the fraction between these two values you have to do as follows:

Divide them


(1200)/(2000)

First step of the simplification is to cancle or "take away" the last two zeros of the numerator and denominator:


(1200)/(2000)=(12)/(20)

Both expressions are equivalent and give the same result.

Now you have to simplify the fraction by choosing a common factor between both values.

Factors of 12:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 20

1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

The Commonf factors between these two values is 4.

Divide the numberator and denominator of the fraction by 4:


(12/4)/(20/4)=(3)/(5)

The fraction of 1200 of 2000 is


(3)/(5)
