Question

A group of students wants to develop a calculator to reduce a fraction. The steps to do so are laid out in their math book as follows:%0D%0A%0D%0AExpress both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) as a product of their prime factors.%0D%0AStrike out any common factors.%0D%0AMultiply the remaining numbers to obtain the reduced numerator and denominator.%0D%0AWhich of the following elements would be appropriate to use in the algorithm?%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0Aa queue and a stack to pop out the prime factors for comparison%0D%0Aa queue and a stack to pop out the prime factors for comparison%0D%0A%0D%0Atwo stacks to pop out the prime factors for comparison%0D%0Atwo stacks to pop out the prime factors for comparison%0D%0A%0D%0Atwo lists to hold the prime factors for comparison%0D%0Atwo lists to hold the prime factors for comparison%0D%0A%0D%0Atwo queues to pop out the prime factors for comparison%0D%0Atwo queues to pop out the prime factors for comparison

Answer 1

Two lists to hold the prime factors for comparison would be appropriate to use in the algorithm.
