Get the numerator and denominator representing the decimal in Python
The as_integer_ratio() in Decimal methods returns the integer pair representing the value.
from decimal import Decimal
d1 = Decimal('7.5')
d2 = Decimal('0.6')
print(d1.as_integer_ratio()) # (15, 2)
print(d2.as_integer_ratio()) # (3, 5)
The first value devided by the second value is equal to the decimal value.
Using Fraction
from decimal import Decimal
from fractions import Fraction
d = Decimal('2.5')
f = Fraction(d)
print(f) # 5/2
print(f.numerator) # 5
print(f.denominator) # 2
A Fraction object can take the decimal argument. It has numerator and denominator properties.
