Re: fractions/LCM/GCM

Just divide the numerator by the denominator.  For example, 3/5  as a decimal is 3 divided by 5 which is 0.6.

Re: fractions/LCM/GCM

is the answer 43*47*15...... ???the credits...
the question is still unclear but the lcm of 43*5 and 47*3 will give the answer 43*47*15 which gives the minimum number of equal credits and the equal number of years spent in the college doesn matter


Everything that has a begining has an EnD!!!
