it's something in algebra i don't remember but basically the top number (12) has the x on the bottom which is multiplication and the bottom number (8) has addition so those tell u how ur supposed to get those numbers
so basically u need to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to 12 so the factors are 6 and 2 because 6 • 2 is 12 and 6 + 2 = 8. hope this helps
