Would it be worth including an example of where rational types are used? One that many people use but seldom notice is in EXIF camera metadata. Many EXIF data fields are held as a rational type comprising two 32-bit words. See JEITA CP-3451, “Exchangeable image file format for digital still cameras: Exif Version 2.2”, from page 14. --scruss (talk) 15:06, 27 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
