1/3 and 4/27

Explanation:

To find the simplest form, check if the numerator and denominator can be divided by the same number, which is the common factor.

In 4/12, we see the common factor is 4, so you want to divide both numerator and denominator by 4

(4div4)/(12div4)=1/3

In 8/54 we see they have a common factor of 2, so divide both numerator and denominator by 2

(8div2)/(54div2)=4/27
