17/51 simplified is 1/3. 51 is divisible by 17 3 times. 42/55 is already simplified.

there isn't a simplified fraction of 17/51 because 17 is a prime number. Also, the simplified fraction of 42/55 is also non-existant.

17/51 = 1/3
since 17 goes into 15 three times
42/55 cannot be simplified, as the numbers share no factors besides 1 in common

17/51=1*17/(3*17)=1/3
42/55=(2*3*7)/(5*11) there are no common factors so no simplification is possible.
