  • Graphical form: \"a%2B1%2Fb%2F1%2Fa%2Bb\" simplifies to \"a%2B1%2Fb%2Fa%2Bb\"
  • Text form: a+1/b/1/a+b simplifies to a+1/b/a+b
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+a%2B1%2Fb%2F1%2Fa%2Bb+%29\"
    For tutors: simplify_cartoon( a+1/b/1/a+b )

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"a%2B1%2Fb%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29%2Fa%2Bb\".
Remove extraneous '1' from product \"highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29\"
It becomes \"a%2B1%2Fb%2Fa%2Bb\".
Result: \"a%2B1%2Fb%2Fa%2Bb\"
