Once you have put them into a Fraction class, you can do arithmetic with them (just like in grade school)

The fraction module allows you to work with rational numbers (without converting to a float). You mean something like this: from fractions import Fractionįractions = ĭ=decimal.Decimal(f.numerator) / decimal.Decimal(f.denominator) I also want it to be rounded properly but thats not a big deal right now.

The catch is that all the fractions need to be processed by the same code.

I thought about dividing it up so I can calculate the fractions indivdually to make them easier to format, but I have no idea how to do this. What I tried was print '0.%.40d' % (x)īut of course this will only help me with the first 2 decimals the rest will be wrong. The problem is that I need to format this into the correct decimal format. The tuples are contained in a list called fractions. The first item is the numerator and the second is the denominator. Each fraction is contained in a tuple of integers, for example (1, 3). The number of decimal places needed is specified as a variable DECIMALS. What I need to do is use integer arithmetic to convert fractions into floating point numbers.
