as1 solution. algorithm could be improved as some tests unnecessary
Code:
Number.isInteger = function(n) {
return (n%1 == 0);
};
function simple(a, b) {
for (i=1; i<a+1; i++) {
c = a/i;
d = b/i;
if (Number.isInteger(c) && Number.isInteger(d)) {
e = c;
f = d;
}
}
trace(e+"/"+f);
}
simple(4, 10);
//returns 2/5
simple(16, 48);
//returns 1/3
simple(3, 7);
//returns 3/7
simple(25, 10);
//returns 5/2billwatson
