Here's how I would do it
\n" ); document.write( "Convert \"0.215\" into a fraction by multiply by 1000 (in this case)
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.215+=+215%2F1000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now simplify into lowest terms. 215 and 1000 are both divisible by 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"43%2F200\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "43 is prime so that as low as you can get it
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
