Fractions

Fractions is a basic library to be able to calculate and represent fractions. All fractions are in its simples form.

Installation

Install-Package Wgaffa.Numbers.Fraction

Using fractions

Everything resides in the namespace Wgaffa.Numbers, so use this when you wish to use this library.

using Wgaffa.Numbers;

Create some simple fractions.

var aFourth = new Fraction(1, 4); // 1/4
var oneAndEights = new Fraction(9, 8); // 1 1/8
var negativeFraction = new Fraction(-2, 3); // -2/3
var simplestForm = new Fraction(5, 10); // 1/2

To create mixed fractions with addition operator.

var mixedFraction = new Fraction(1, 4) + 5; // 5 1/4

ToString() will return a mixed fraction, e.g.

var mixedFraction = new Fraction(5, 2);
Console.WriteLine(mixedFraction); // Output: 2 1/2

If you want to print out the improper fraction you have to use the properties Numerator and Denominator.

var mixedFraction = new Fraction(8, 3);
Console.WriteLine($"{mixedFraction.Numerator}/{mixedFraction.Denominator}"); // Output: 8/3

Using the previous examples you can use the operators + - * / on fractions and integers.

var addition = aFourth + simplestForm; // 3/4
var subtraction = oneAndEights - aFourth; // 7/8
var multiplication = negativeFraction * aFourth; // -1/6
var division = simplestForm / aFourth; // 2
