Hi @shrimprugbysnowowl thank you for the proposal. I will try to add this possibility using https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-numbers/ libraries. More technical information: the similar question was discussed on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/474535/best-way-to-represent-a-fraction-in-java
Hi @shrimprugbysnowowl
I implemented a first drop of the fraction representation:
The fraction representation is activated in the result property dialog that appears when you long press on the result formula and than press "Object property" floating button:
It works, but some points are not really clear for me:
Do you like to have an APK for the testing?
Very cool! When I submitted the suggestion, I was using the app to perform calculations in imperial architectural units which are typically shown as: [integer feet] - [integer inches] [fractional inch] As it relates to this app, I personally think it would be useful to show integers separately from a fraction, but someone may also want the option to show "improper fractions".
I don't have enough exposure with complex numbers to have an opinion if fractions should be used with "i". Sorry
I'd love an APK for testing! Awesome work!
Hi @shrimprugbysnowowl thanks, I will modify the representation in order to show integers separately from a fraction and provide you a test APK tomorrow.
Hi @shrimprugbysnowowl
please download and manually install this test APK: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At2sh2-YDyGFgSYciWpo4LRq-roW?e=ood4II
It is just an initial implementation, some bugs can exist here and I still testing it.
The test apk works very well. I haven't noticed any bugs

Feature Request
It would be useful to be able to format a result as a fraction, or allow the decimal portion of a result as a fraction, similar to SI architectural measurements (i.e. 8.791666666667 feet vs 8'-9 1/2").
Just discovered microMath, and it looks like an excellent open source alternative to MathCAD!
