== Cancelling before multiplying == | |||
Nice, easy-to-read article. | |||
Where it says ''"Note: Always cancel before multiplying."'' I would suggest something gentler such as ''"Note: The arithmetic is simpler if you cancel before multiplying,"'' since if you multiply first and then cancel you will still get the right answer. --[[User:Catherine Woodgold|Catherine Woodgold]] 20:35, 14 May 2007 (CDT) |

Excellent article in progress! Anyone have any comments to make? I wouldn't be surprised if this goes up for approval quickly. - Greg Martin 23:54, 13 May 2007 (CDT)
- Thank you.
- I think more should be added before approval. Maybe some stuff about polynomials, some more applications, some things about somewhat abstract number theory... Michael Hardy 13:43, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Cancelling before multiplying
Nice, easy-to-read article.
Where it says "Note: Always cancel before multiplying." I would suggest something gentler such as "Note: The arithmetic is simpler if you cancel before multiplying," since if you multiply first and then cancel you will still get the right answer. --Catherine Woodgold 20:35, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
