Hello!
To simplify a fraction you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by it's common factor. For this fraction the common factor of 17 and 51 is 17 so you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 17.
The answer will be 1/3.
So the Final Answer is 1/3.

Hope I helped you!
