Question 53974
"of", when using fractions, can be translated as "times".
So, as an example, two-fifths of 25 can be expressed as {{{2/5*25}}}

When multiplying fractions, we multiply all the numerators and all the denominators (consider 100's denominator as 1). We can also simplify a numerator with a denominator (divide them both by the same amount) if we want. There's a specific rule that'll help us much, that is the fact that two equal numbers cancel out when simplifying.


{{{(100*1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9)/(1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10)}}}


This would be a very complicated thing to do, if we couldn't simplify. Look at this:

{{{cartoon((highlight(100)*1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9)/(1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10),
(1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*highlight(100))/(1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10),
(cross(1)*cross(2)*cross(3)*cross(4)*cross(5)*cross(6)*cross(7)*cross(8)*cross(9)*100)/(cross(1)*cross(2)*cross(3)*cross(4)*cross(5)*cross(6)*cross(7)*cross(8)*cross(9)*10),
100/10,
10
)}}}
