simplify fractions in java
//only works with even fractions //definitly a more efficant way but its working for me //fraction must be split into numerator and denominator float numerator = 4; float denominator = 8; while(1==1){ //devides the numerator and the denomenator by 2 (or whatever number you put) numerator = numerator/2; denominator = denominator/2; //if after deviding by 2 both the numerator and the denominator are whole numbers it will loop and devide and check them again if(numerator == (int)numerator && denominator ==(int)denominator){ println("good"); } //if after being devided by 2 either the numerator or the denomerator are not whole numbers else{ //both are multiplied by 2 to make them go back to being their simplest whole number numerator = numerator*2; denominator = denominator*2; //the fraction is simplifies and saved to the ints Simple_numerator and Simple_denominator and the loop stops int Simple_numerator = int(numerator); int Simple_denominator = int(denominator); println(Simple_numerator + "/" + Simple_denominator); break; } }
