Answer:

73/82

Explanation:

You can get a ratio of integers by removing the decimal points (multiplying each number by 100).

2336/2624

The greatest common factor of these numbers is 32, so the fraction can be reduced further:

2336/2624 = (32·73)/(32·82) = 73/82

_____

Comment on greatest common factor

Euclid's algorithm can work well for strange large numbers.

2624 mod 2336 = 288

2336 mod 288 = 32

288 mod 32 = 0 . . . . . so 32 is the GCF
