    Answer:GCF=17

    To find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the numbers, we first need to list the prime factors of both 85 and 51

    52=3*17

    85=5*17

    17 is the sole common factor that these two numbers have in common, therefore 17 is the GCF.

    To simplify the ratio, simply divide both numbers by 17.

    85:51 becomes 5:3
