\n" ); document.write( "\"36%2F%282%2F3%29%2A3%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, cancel factors factors of 1 as appropriate:
\n" ); document.write( "\"36%2A3%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "\"36%2F2\"*\"3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2A3\"\r
