The fraction \( \frac{12}{7} \) is already in its simplest form because 12 and 7 have no common factors other than 1. If you're looking to express it in a different way, you can convert it to a mixed number:
1. Divide 12 by 7, which is 1 with a remainder of 5.
2. Write this as a mixed number: \( 1 \frac{5}{7} \).
So, \( \frac{12}{7} \) can be expressed as \( 1 \frac{5}{7} \), but it cannot be simplified further as a proper fraction.
