document.write( "My solution will be, I will use cancelation. First find one numerator and one denominator that can be divided by a number. For this I found 2 pairs. 21 and 14,5 and 25. Then divide 14 and 21 by 7. The result is 2 and 3. Then divide 5 and 25 by 5. The result is 1 and 5. With that the new fractions are 1/3 and 2/5.<BR>\n" );
