That's easy – if the denominator is a power of 2 (or another base) all factors of this are 2 as well. So you could use the respective setting of calculators with fraction function, for instance the 35s.

As far as the 41-series is concerned...

Yes, it exists – I just wrote one. ;-)
Yes, you should write your own as well – it's fun.
