How it works

To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

  • GCF of 4 and 12 = 4
  • 4 ÷ 4 = 1
  • 12 ÷ 4 = 3

So 4/12 = 1/3, which cannot be reduced further because 1 and 3 share no common factor other than 1.

Equivalent fractions

4/12 = 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9 = 4/12 — all equal to 0.333333.
