Is there a JavaScript function that reduces a fraction

Question

say we have fraction 2/4, it can be reduced to 1/2.

Is there a JavaScript function that can do the reducing?

Answer 1

Reduce a string fraction like "2/4" and output as string fraction.

function reduce([numerator, denominator]){
  for (let i = numerator; i > 0; i--) {
    if(!(numerator % i) && !(denominator % i)){
      return [(numerator / i), (denominator / i)];
    }
  }
}

function reduceFraction(string){
  return reduce(string.split('/').map(n => +n)).join('/');
}

one = '2/4';
two = '20/200';
three = '330/2050';

console.log('2/4 reduced to', reduceFraction(one));
console.log('20/200 reduced to', reduceFraction(two));
console.log('330/2050 reduced to', reduceFraction(three));
