Interesting. Thanks.
I input into a cell " =pi() "
and formatted as #???/???
and it fed out 355/113. This
is accurate to about 1 part in
3.75 million.

It is unreliable. :-(
For example, put in a cell "=5/17"
then format the cell as a fraction.

It doesn't, but then it shouldn't because QUOTIENT is supposed to
return the integer part only. So the result is 0.
