I guess you know about fraction format. Unfortunately, tho it
will give 3 digits, it will only work for the fractional part of
the number. Thus 3.17578125 is 3 45/256 and that is how it will
display, not 813/256. I believe the last is what you wanted.
The arithmetic terminology talks about "proper" and "improper"
fractions but I can never remember which is which! I'm not too
good on numerator and denominator either :-)
