Python | Decimal as_integer_ratio() method

Decimal#as_integer_ratio() : as_integer_ratio() is a Decimal class method which returns the exponent after shifting out the coefficient’s rightmost digits until only the lead digit remains : as a pair (n, d)

Syntax: Decimal.as_integer_ratio()

Parameter: Decimal values

Return: the exponent after shifting out the coefficient’s rightmost digits until only the lead digit remains : as a pair (n, d)

Code #1 : Example for as_integer_ratio() method

# Python Program explaining  
# as_integer_ratio() method 
  
# loading decimal library 
from decimal import *
  
  
# Initializing a decimal value 
a = Decimal(-1) 
  
b = Decimal('0.142857') 
  
# printing Decimal values 
print ("Decimal value a : ", a) 
print ("Decimal value b : ", b) 
  
  
# Using Decimal.as_integer_ratio() method 
print ("\n\nDecimal a with as_integer_ratio() method : ", a.as_integer_ratio()) 
  
print ("Decimal b with as_integer_ratio() method : ", b.as_integer_ratio()) 

Output :

Decimal value a :  -1
Decimal value b :  0.142857


Decimal a with as_integer_ratio() method :  (-1, 1)
Decimal b with as_integer_ratio() method :  (142857, 1000000)

Code #2 : Example for as_integer_ratio() method

# Python Program explaining  
# as_integer_ratio() method 
  
# loading decimal library 
from decimal import *
  
  
# Initializing a decimal value 
a = Decimal('-3.14') 
  
b = Decimal('321e + 5') 
  
# printing Decimal values 
print ("Decimal value a : ", a) 
print ("Decimal value b : ", b) 
  
  
# Using Decimal.as_integer_ratio() method 
print ("\n\nDecimal a with as_integer_ratio() method : ", a.as_integer_ratio()) 
  
print ("Decimal b with as_integer_ratio() method : ", b.as_integer_ratio()) 

Output :

Decimal value a :  -3.14
Decimal value b :  3.21E+7


Decimal a with as_integer_ratio() method :  (-157, 50)
Decimal b with as_integer_ratio() method :  (32100000, 1)
