A Help!
I've got this assignment to be completed. Kindly help:
A kid was asked to simplify 26/65. He simply cancelled tenchnique produced result 26/65 = 2/5 (Cancellation of 6)
Write a program to determine all fractions with two digit numertors and denominators for which the kid's technique work correctly.
Having a tough time to solve this example.
Well, thing is, we're not here to do your math homework for you.... Work the problem and when you have some code, you can post about any problems you may be having. Show us your code, ask specific questions and we'll see what we can do...

Okay. I know. Wait. I am beginner in learning C programming. I'll be glad if you elaborate your answer. Take pain to write some initials or hint?

What you have is a math problem... when you understand how to solve it by pencil and paper, you will also have a good start on writing the code. Programmers don't simply get handed assignments and sit down to write code... the problem being that nobody, no matter how skilled, can write the solution to a problem they don't understand.
This isn't the math department...
So you need to generate two numbers with a digit in common, then check whether removing the common digit gives you the same fraction as the original.
(Math note: If you want to check whether a/b = c/d, then you actually check whether a*d = b*c, so that you don't have to deal with floating-point inaccuracies, et cetera.)
You'll probably generate your pairs of numbers with some for-loops (one to go through all the possible common digits, one to go through the other digit on top, one to go through the other digit on the bottom).
