We can either convert to decimals or work with the fractions. Since 18 isn't a good decimal, let's use the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "64 * 3 = 192 / 4
\n" ); document.write( "61 * 11 = 671 / 18
\n" ); document.write( "What is the lowest common denominator for 4 and 18?
\n" ); document.write( "4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40
\n" ); document.write( "18, 36, 54
\n" ); document.write( "-- 36, so let's put the fractions into 36ths
\n" ); document.write( "192/4 = 192*9 ... 1728/36
\n" ); document.write( "671/18 = 671*2 ... 1342/36
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1728 - 1342 = 406/32
\n" ); document.write( "Reduce to 12 22/32
\n" ); document.write( "Reduce the fraction 12 11/16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
