Task
Fraction reduction
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
              There is a fine line between numerator and denominator.       ─── anonymous


A method to   "reduce"   some reducible fractions is to   cross out   a digit from the numerator and the denominator.   An example is:

       16                                                  16
      ────     and then (simply) cross─out the sixes:      ────
       64                                                  64

resulting in:

        1
       ───    
        4


Naturally,   this "method" of reduction must reduce to the proper value   (shown as a fraction).

This "method" is also known as   anomalous cancellation   and also   accidental cancellation.


(Of course,   this "method" shouldn't be taught to impressionable or gullible minds.)       😇


Task

Find and show some fractions that can be reduced by the above "method".

  •   show 2-digit fractions found   (like the example shown above)
  •   show 3-digit fractions
  •   show 4-digit fractions
  •   show 5-digit fractions   (and higher)       (optional)
  •   show each (above) n-digit fractions separately from other different n-sized fractions, don't mix different "sizes" together
  •   for each "size" fraction,   only show a dozen examples   (the 1st twelve found)
  •   (it's recognized that not every programming solution will have the same generation algorithm)
  •   for each "size" fraction:
  •   show a count of how many reducible fractions were found.   The example (above) is size 2
  •   show a count of which digits were crossed out   (one line for each different digit)
  •   for each "size" fraction,   show a count of how many were found.   The example (above) is size 2
  •   show each n-digit example   (to be shown on one line):
  •   show each n-digit fraction
  •   show each reduced n-digit fraction
  •   show what digit was crossed out for the numerator and the denominator


Task requirements/restrictions
  •   only proper fractions and their reductions   (the result)   are to be used   (no vulgar fractions)
  •   only positive fractions are to be used   (no negative signs anywhere)
  •   only base ten integers are to be used for the numerator and denominator
  •   no zeros   (decimal digit)   can be used within the numerator or the denominator
  •   the numerator and denominator should be composed of the same number of digits
  •   no digit can be repeated in the numerator
  •   no digit can be repeated in the denominator
  •   (naturally)   there should be a shared decimal digit in the numerator   and   the denominator
  •   fractions can be shown as   16/64   (for example)
