You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because you have to write a ratio, put 261 over 234 as a fraction.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"261%2F234\"$
\n" ); document.write( "According to the divisibility rules, 261 and 234 can be reduced by 9 because the sum of the digits (261:2+6+1=9; 234:2+3+4=9) is divisible by 9. So divide both numbers by 9:
\n" ); document.write( "261/9=29 234/9=26
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have $\"29%2F26\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This cannot be reduced further.
\n" ); document.write( "If needed, add days to the end of both numbers since you are working with days.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps! :) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
