Find x and y. X/y=0.4285714286

Question

If we divide two numbers we get their quotient similarly is it possible to find that two numbers with its resultant (quotient)? Like 5/3 =1.6666666666 is it possible to find 5 and 3 with 1.666666666, can we reverse compute these numbers?

Answer 1

for i in range(1, 25):
for j in range(1, 25):
if abs(i/j-0.4285714286) <= 1e-10:
print(f'{i}/{j}') # 3/7
exit()

Answer 3

It is possible if the numerator and denominator aren't large. Also, you may get multiple results due to precision.
