👉 Fractionated is a term used in mathematics and computer science to describe a way of representing an integer as a combination of its decimal part (the fractional part) and a non-zero integer. The idea behind fractionation is to represent numbers with fewer digits, which can be useful for calculations that require precision.
In programming languages such as Python, the concept of fractionated representation was introduced in the 20th century by Brian Kernighan and Martin Gardner. They proposed a method for storing decimal numbers
