Reduce Ratio 17:1

Here we will reduce the ratio 17:1 as much as possible. In other words, we will make the numbers 17 and 1 as low as they can be while still keeping the same ratio between the two numbers.

To do this we find the largest number that both 17 and 1 can be divided by. Then we divide both 17 and 1 by that number to get the new reduced ratio.

The largest number 17 and 1 can be divided by is 1. When we divide both numbers by 1, we get the new reduced ratio as follows:
