<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-fractions" title="fractions: Rational numbers."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fractions</span></code></a> module provides support for rational number arithmetic.</p>
<p>A Fraction instance can be constructed from a pair of integers, from
another rational number, or from a string.</p>

<dd><p>The first version requires that <em>numerator</em> and <em>denominator</em> are instances
of <a class="reference internal" href="numbers.html#numbers.Rational" title="numbers.Rational"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">numbers.Rational</span></code></a> and returns a new <a class="reference internal" href="#fractions.Fraction" title="fractions.Fraction"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction</span></code></a> instance
with value <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">numerator/denominator</span></code>. If <em>denominator</em> is <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code>, it
raises a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#ZeroDivisionError" title="ZeroDivisionError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ZeroDivisionError</span></code></a>. The second version requires that
<em>other_fraction</em> is an instance of <a class="reference internal" href="numbers.html#numbers.Rational" title="numbers.Rational"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">numbers.Rational</span></code></a> and returns a
<a class="reference internal" href="#fractions.Fraction" title="fractions.Fraction"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction</span></code></a> instance with the same value. The next two versions accept
either a <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#float" title="float"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">float</span></code></a> or a <a class="reference internal" href="decimal.html#decimal.Decimal" title="decimal.Decimal"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">decimal.Decimal</span></code></a> instance, and return a
<a class="reference internal" href="#fractions.Fraction" title="fractions.Fraction"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction</span></code></a> instance with exactly the same value. Note that due to the
usual issues with binary floating-point (see <a class="reference internal" href="../tutorial/floatingpoint.html#tut-fp-issues"><span class="std std-ref">Floating Point Arithmetic: Issues and Limitations</span></a>), the
argument to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction(1.1)</span></code> is not exactly equal to 11/10, and so
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction(1.1)</span></code> does <em>not</em> return <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction(11,</span> <span class="pre">10)</span></code> as one might expect.
(But see the documentation for the <a class="reference internal" href="#fractions.Fraction.limit_denominator" title="fractions.Fraction.limit_denominator"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">limit_denominator()</span></code></a> method below.)
The last version of the constructor expects a string or unicode instance.
The usual form for this instance is:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="n">sign</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="n">numerator</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;/&#39;</span> <span class="n">denominator</span><span class="p">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where the optional <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sign</span></code> may be either ‘+’ or ‘-‘ and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">numerator</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">denominator</span></code> (if present) are strings of
decimal digits. In addition, any string that represents a finite
value and is accepted by the <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#float" title="float"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">float</span></code></a> constructor is also
accepted by the <a class="reference internal" href="#fractions.Fraction" title="fractions.Fraction"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Fraction</span></code></a> constructor. In either form the
input string may also have leading and/or trailing whitespace.
Here are some examples:</p>
