numerator :: Integral a => Ratio a -> a Source
Extract the numerator of the ratio in reduced form: the numerator and denominator have no common factor and the denominator is positive.
denominator :: Integral a => Ratio a -> a Source
Extract the denominator of the ratio in reduced form: the numerator and denominator have no common factor and the denominator is positive.
approxRational :: RealFrac a => a -> a -> Rational Source
approxRational, applied to two real fractional numbers x and epsilon, returns the simplest rational number within epsilon of x. A rational number y is said to be simpler than another y' if
, andabs(numeratory) <=abs(numeratory').denominatory <=denominatory'
Any real interval contains a unique simplest rational; in particular, note that 0/1 is the simplest rational of all.
