Talk:Fraction reduction

Anomalous cancellation

Seems to me that this task would be better titled: Anomalous cancellation, or at least "Fraction reduction by anomalous cancellation" so it is easier to google. --Thundergnat (talk) 00:19, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

I never heard of that term,   nothing about that term suggests to me fraction reductions.   But if I had heard of it,   I would've added it to the task's preamble.   I'm sure that everyone knows what   reduction of fractions   means.   However,   I'll add the term to the Rosetta Code task preamble as a comment   ("it's also known as")   to facilitate keyword searching.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 09:38, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Now, the term   accidental cancellation of fractions   sounds like a term that most people might know what it means or intuits.   I'll also add this term to the task preamble.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 09:50, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
