Answer
$\frac{68}{17}$
Factors of 68 are 1, 2, 4, 17, 34 and 68
Factors of 17 are 1 and 17
Common factor of 68 and 17 is 17
HCF of 68 and 17 is = 17
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 17, we get:
$\frac{68\div17}{17\div17}=\frac{4}{1}$
Therefore, the simplest form obtained is,
$\frac{68}{17}=\frac{4}{1}$
