… of all the memes here I have so far seen on this comm…
Yep. 100% this one.
… and I am a fucking data analyst and progammer.
Fraction reduction is can actually be… quite complicated…
[vomits, adorabley]
Hell I don’t even remember what reducing a fraction is anymore. If I start with 12/10, is the correct answer 6/5 or 1 1/5?
No, no, no you got three fractions there. You have to reduce, get it down to one clean looking one like that 1 1/5. Toss those other two.
Yes
Both are correct, depends on the requirements of what your doing
6/5, common notation is ideal for math. Mixed numbers are only useful for recipes in US customary units.
Reduce this fraction -> 774144/4352
Or 3024/17
How the hell does a human and/or calculator find the common divisor??
There’s a very old math algorithm called Euclid’s Algorithm that lets you slowly work your way down to the greatest common factor between two numbers regardless of size. It’s quite simple but requires a lot of subtraction.
meanies
I only cried for 5 minutes answering that 😂
177 and 15/17!!
