Does it yield a good approximation for those, or does it just punt? What does it yield for example for 0.9999127?
Bold claim. Care to link to the basis (articles, references?) of that claim?
Just tested that and it gives 9999127 / 10000000.
Unfortunately I never recorded where I got the algorithm from, so I'm having a hard trouble finding it. I guess I'll have to say that I mean ideal for him, until I can substantiate any further claim.
