Christian Semrau commented on LANG-663:
---------------------------------------

Even if both arguments are reduced, if the divisor has numerator 
Integer.MIN_VALUE, divideBy may fail despite the quotient being representable 
with positive denominator.

{code:title=FractionTest.java|borderStyle=solid}
    public void testDivide() {
        // ...
        f1 = Fraction.getFraction(2, 3);
        f2 = Fraction.getFraction(Integer.MIN_VALUE, 3);
        f = f1.divideBy(f2);
        assertEquals(-1, f.getNumerator());
        assertEquals(-Integer.MIN_VALUE / 2, f.getDenominator());
{code}
