simplify fractions C

To simplify fractions in C, you can use a function that finds the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Define a function to find the GCD of two numbers. You can use the Euclidean algorithm for this. Here's an example implementation:

int gcd(int a, int b) {
    if (b == 0) {
        return a;
    }
    return gcd(b, a % b);
}

1. Take the numerator and denominator as input from the user.

2. Find the GCD of the numerator and denominator using the gcd function:

int common_divisor = gcd(numerator, denominator);

1. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD:

numerator /= common_divisor;
denominator /= common_divisor;

1. Print the simplified fraction:

printf("Simplified fraction: %d/%d\n", numerator, denominator);

This process will simplify the fraction to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
