To simplify a number, you have to find the greatest common factor (of the numerator and the denominator) and divide each number by the greatest common factor.

The greatest common factor of 3 and 12 is 3.

Now divide each 3 and 12 by 3.

3 ÷ 3 = 1

12 ÷ 3 = 4

Now the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 4.

3/12 in reduced form is 1/4.
