        Usually it is by powers of 2 and only up to 64ths at most (least?). So you might see 3/8, 7/16, 15/32, or 37/64, but never 5/7 or 23/24. Also, usually the fraction is reduced, so the numerator will always be odd (1/4 and not 2/8).

          Well that’s reassuring… slowly backs away hope … hope they stay odd, get the great fractions of the empire! They are, certainly something, wow… yeah … i gotta go but

          Yeah come on 76/89ths would be silly because 89 is prime and 76 is even, it would obviously be rounded to 55/64ths
