    • power

      public Rational power(int n)
      Return the normalized power of this to the exponent n.

    • modulo

      public Rational modulo(Rational x)
      Returns the fractional rest of the division by x, with "this/x" defined as with integer division, namely rounding towards zero, not towards negative infinity. This method behaves like java integer {code %}, cf https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se22/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.17.3. 

         5%3 produces 2 (note that 5/3 produces 1)
   5%(-3) produces 2 (note that 5/(-3) produces -1)
   (-5)%3 produces -2 (note that (-5)/3 produces -1)
   (-5)%(-3) produces -2 (note that (-5)/(-3) produces 1)   *

    • additiveName

      public String additiveName(@Opt @Opt String separator)
      Shows integer part and fractional rest separately. If integer part == 0, then the simple toString() is returned. Otheriwse, if value < 0, then the represenationof the negation is inclosed in -(..).
      Parameters:
      separator - string set betweeninteger and fractional part, defaults to » « (= one blank).
