Do you know a good algorithm to convert 0.125 into 1/8? > - the calculation with 'mixed numbers' like 2 1/3 + 5 1/7 = Some weeks ago I got a mail telling me, that these numbers like 2 1/3 seem to be very regional used. The man was from Swiss and has never seen this before. He thought about 2 1/3 being 2 * 1/3 and not 2 + 1/3. So I don't know if it is really good to do that. > - train actions like 1/3 = 3/9 or 15/45 = 1/3. I don't know the Englisch > words for this actions. This is allready done a little bit. If the user enters 3/9 as result he gets a hint that he doesn't reduced the solution. > For mathematical programs it would be interesting to configure if a '.' or a > ',' is used in decimal numbers. I'm very sure this is allready avaible in KControl. Look under Personal Setup/Country&Language/Figures (Persoenliche Einstellungen/Land&Sprache/Zahlen).
