DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+z+%29%2Fy.
Replaced z with 28
It becomes highlight_green%28+28+%29%2Fy.

Replaced y with 4
It becomes 28%2Fhighlight_green%28+4+%29.
Look at highlight_red%28+28+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+4+%29.
Factors 28 and 4 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 4. Reducing fraction.
It becomes highlight_green%28+7+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29.
Look at 7%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29
