minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-26 hours agoThat’s insane. Is eigths the minimal resolution, or can it do stuff like “15 and 76/89ths of a pound”?
minus-squarewer2@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up7·6 hours agoUsually 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).
