About fraction numbers

Fraction numbers (Fractions) represent numbers in the form of "numerator/denominator" as the ratio (quotient) of the numerator and denominator.

In DenCode, the entered number (integer or decimal) is converted into an irreducible fraction (a fraction that cannot be reduced any further).

Examples of fraction conversion are as follows.

A decimal ending with "..." is interpreted as a "truncated number" and is converted based on the following rules:

• If there is a repeating pattern (recurring decimal): The repeating pattern in the decimal part (repetend) is automatically detected and converted into the exact fraction representation.
• If there is no repeating pattern: It is converted into a fraction as a terminating decimal based on the entered number of digits.

Examples of conversion for decimals ending with "..." are as follows.
