flo.numerator → integer

VALUE
rb_float_numerator(VALUE self)
{
    double d = RFLOAT_VALUE(self);
    VALUE r;
    if (!isfinite(d))
        return self;
    r = float_to_r(self);
    return nurat_numerator(r);
}

Returns the numerator. The result is machine dependent.

Example

n = 0.3.numerator    #=> 5404319552844595
d = 0.3.denominator  #=> 18014398509481984
n.fdiv(d)            #=> 0.3
