    173/12 = 173/12

    Note: 173 is a prime number which is divisible only by 1 and 173.

    173/12 = 14 5/12 or do mean

    17 3/12 = 17 1/4

    Looks like 173 is prime with no dividers so 173/12 cannot be reduced

    173 is prime so the only way you can reduce it is to make it a proper fraction which would be 14 5/12

    cant be done cause 173 can not be divided by either 2 or 3 which divide 12.
