51/68 = 3/4. (Both numerator and denominator
divisible by 17.)
None of the 6 fractions here is in simplest form.
1. These are equivalent. Both reduce to 5/8.
2. These are not equivalent.
40/74 = 20/37 and 36/60 = 3/5. 20*5 <>37*3
3. These are not equivalent. The first reduces to 5/11 and the
second reduces to 6/11.

51/68 is already in simplest form.
1. 60/96 = 5/8 = 35/56
2. 40/74 = 20/37 does not equal 36/60 = 3/5
3. 60/132 = 5/11 does not equal 48/88 = 6/11

None are reduced and only the first pair are equivalent.
