Noob euclidean algortihm fractions
Hi my teacher gave us an assignment and I have gotten every thing taken care of except for understanding where to apply the Euclidean Algorithm to reduce my fractions... below is the source code and where i have attempted to use the algorithm are commented out. Please help me figure out how and where to apply it..
#include <iostream>

Please use code tags when posting code. Without proper indenting your code is very hard to read.
Do you know how to reduce a fraction? If not, look up the wikipedia page on Greatest Common Divisor.

Please put [code][/code] tags around your code to preserve indentation and make it more readable.
