### 7.2.6 Simplifying a pair of integers

The simp2 command reduces a fraction to lowest terms, where the fraction is given as a separate numerator and denominator. (See also Section 11.6.6.)

- simp2 takes one or two arguments: [a,b], a list of two integers or simply the two integers a,b.
- simp2([a,b]) or simp2(a,b) returns the integers after they have been divided by their greatest common divisor; i.e., the corresponding fraction will be in lowest terms.

#### Examples

simp2(18,15)

| ⎡ ⎣ | 6,5 | ⎤ ⎦

simp2([42,12])

| ⎡ ⎣ | 7,2 | ⎤ ⎦
