Let's rewrite the given fraction 12/17 to a decimal number. Then Let's round to the nearest thousandth. To do that, divide the numerator by the denominator. => 12 / 17 => 0.7058 Le's round this to =>0.706
4 is the largest number that is common to both 32 and 44. Factoring it out looks like this: 4(8 + 11) = 4(8 + 11). That's weird to me but all textbooks begin that process just that same way.
