Hi, there probably isn't an answer to this apart from "Create it yourself", but you never know, there might be some string representation for this.

Basically, I would like to display number values as fractional instead of decimal when displaying the values as a string.

Instead of a value displaying as:

1.1428571428571428571428571428571

I would prefer it to display as

8/7

Is there any way of doing this without writing the functionality myself?

Regards

Lloyd

So I found some similarities between arrays and set notation while learning about sets and sequences in precalc e.g. set notation: {a | cond } = { a1, a2, a3, a4, ..., an} given that n is the domain (or index) of the array, a subset of Natural numbers (or unsigned integer).
