In converting Fraction(m, n) to float, presumably you just do m / n, no?
>>> float(Fraction(10**400, 10**399))
10.0
>>> float(Fraction(10**400, 3))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/numbers.py",
line 291, in __float__
return self.numerator / self.denominator
OverflowError: integer division result too large for a float
Seems reasonable to me.
