RE: (11C) Arithmetic with Fractions
Hi, Thomas Klemm,

Thanks for the link to Kahan paper. I tried it, it work perfectly.

However, Kahan's example does not shown the algorithm's power.
Doing the math as fixed fraction already avoid the overflow problem ...

123456799/123456 - 988297396/988291
= (1000 + 799/123456) - (1000 + 6396/988291)
= 799/(643*192) - 6396/(643*1537)
= (799 * 1537 - 6396 * 192) / (643*192*1537)
= (1228063 - 1228032) / 189751872
= 31 / 189751872
