Usually 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).
Well that’s reassuring… slowly backs away hope … hope they stay odd, get the great fractions of the empire! They are, certainly something, wow… yeah … i gotta go but
Off topic, but imperial instruments always crack me up, with the fractional displays.
That’s insane. Is eigths the minimal resolution, or can it do stuff like “15 and 76/89ths of a pound”?

I wish it was all metric; no defense of it here.
Yeah come on 76/89ths would be silly because 89 is prime and 76 is even, it would obviously be rounded to 55/64ths
