Hi Gizmo,
The easiest way to do that is with xlpREDUCEFRACTION():
http://precisioncalc.com/xlpREDUCEFRACTION.html
BTW, xlpREDUCEFRACTION is not limited to Excel's 15 significant
digits. It can reduce fractions where the numerator and/or denominator
have as many as 32,767 significant digits.
xlpREDUCEFRACTION can also simplify fractions even where
simplification would not be a reduction, if desired (set the
always_simplify argument to TRUE). For example:
xlpREDUCEFRACTION(2.6,10,,TRUE)
Returns:
13/50
You'll need to download and install the Free Edition of xlPrecision:
(it never expires)
