\"%28180%2F2250%29%3C%28233%2F2330%29\" or \"%28180%2F2250%29%3E%28233%2F2330%29\" or \"%28180%2F2250%29=%28233%2F2330%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can do it two ways.
\n" ); document.write( "First simplify, then do LCD.
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2F225\" and \"1%2F10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10=2%2A5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"225=3%2A3%2A5%2A5=3%5E2%2A5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"LCD+=+2%5E1%2A3%5E2%2A5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"LCD+=+2%5E1%2A3%5E2%2A5%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"LCD+=+450\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2F225=36%2F450\" and \"1%2F10=45%2F450\"
\n" ); document.write( "You find that this year had the higher percentage or
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28180%2F2250%29%3C%28233%2F2330%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can also do it without simplification.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2250=2%2A3%2A3%2A5%2A5%2A5=2%2A3%5E2%2A5%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2330=2%2A5%2A233\" 233 is a prime number.
\n" ); document.write( "\"LCD+=+2%5E1%2A3%5E2%2A5%5E3%2A233\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"LCD+=+524250\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18%2F225=41940%2F524250\" and \"233%2F2330=52425%2F524250\"
\n" ); document.write( "Again, you find that this year had the higher percentage or
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2841940%2F524250%29%3C%2852425%2F524250%29\"
