You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The numbers 14 and 20 share the common factor 2. So you can divide both parts by 2 to get 14/2 = 7 and 20/2 = 10. That means \"14%2F20+=+7%2F10\" and \"7%2F10\" is the fully reduced fraction. It is fully reduced because 7 and 10 do not share any common factors (other than 1). \n" ); document.write( "
