MODERATORS
Cause fractions can be figured out in context. You can store the numerators and have the denominator as a constant in the code.
You can also have a type which does it. Raku has a Rational type for this.
Python has the Fraction type, and there are many more
Part of my first programming courses in the 90s in C were creating a native fraction type.
