1. BigFraction should work the same way as Fraction when the numbers are the 
same

So collecting the common tests together makes sense. The change in the PR looks 
good.

2. BigFraction should work with numbers that cannot be handled by Fraction

A quick looks shows that the BigFractionTest does have test cases for very 
large numbers. However the add, subtract, divide and multiply tests and a few 
others just use values that would work with Fraction. Possibly these can be 
moved to a shared common tests location too.

Then variants added using BigInteger arguments just to make sure the Big part 
of BigFraction is working.
