Introduction

A simple extension that converts a decimal number to a fraction.

Version: 2

Blocks

DecimalToFraction

image

Converts a decimal to a fraction.

Returns: text

Parameters: number = number (double), separator = text

GetDenominator

image

Returns the denominator of the fraction from the decimal.

Parameters: number = double

GetNumerator

image

Returns the numerator of the fraction from the decimal.

Parameters: number = double

Can this be done with built-in blocks?

Yes and no. As @ABG and I found out in this post, it really depends on what decimal you are converting. For some reason, AI2 floats decimals that are smaller than 0.00001. Hence, I recommend you to use this extension - you don't know what the user inputs.
