Roderick Mcdowell · Answer 1

Fractions can be simplified by making sure that the numerator and the denominator cannot be divided by any number.

The given 12/60 is very obvious that it is divisible by 2.

After dividing by 2, you will get 6/30.

It seems it is not in simplest form. It is divisible by 3.

Dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 then you will get

2/15.

So the lowest term is 2/15.
