\n" ); document.write( "I have enclosed a sample problem of simplifying fractions. The part that I don't understand is \"the remainder from division is 4\" after I have computed the whole problem.
\n" ); document.write( "My question to you is how do you get the remainder from division with any simplifying fraction? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sample:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have to divide both the top part (numerator 1058) and the bottom part (denominator 70) by their greatest common divisor 2:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 1058/2 = 529 and 70/2 =35, we have; \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note that is an IMPROPER fraction because 529 is greater than 35. We have to separate its integer part now.
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing 529 by 35, we get 15.1142857142857. The integer part of it is 15. \"The remainder from division is 4.\"\r

document.write( "1.  Divide 529 ÷ 35\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Get 15.1142857142857\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Write down 15.\r\n" );
