java.lang.Object
- edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.Rational

```
public class Rational
extends Object
```
This class encapsulates a number which is defined as the ratio of two 32-bit unsigned integers, in accordance with the TIFF specification.

Constructor Summary

Constructors
Constructor	Description
`Rational(int numerator, int denominator)`	The arguments to the int constructor are treated as 32-bit unsigned integers.
`Rational(long numerator, long denominator)`	The arguments to this constructor are long in order to represent all possible 32-bit unsigned integers.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description

public Rational(long numerator,
                long denominator)
```
    The arguments to this constructor are long in order to represent all possible 32-bit unsigned integers. Parameters greater than 2 ^ 32 - 1 are not meaningful.
    
    Parameters:
    
    numerator - numerator of the Rational value
    
    denominator - denominator of the Rational value
  - Rational
```
public Rational(int numerator,
                int denominator)
```
    The arguments to the int constructor are treated as 32-bit unsigned integers.
    
    Parameters:
    
    numerator - numerator of the Rational value
    
    denominator - denominator of the Rational value
- Method Detail
  - getNumerator
```
public long getNumerator()
```
    Returns the Numerator property.
  - getDenominator
```
public long getDenominator()
```
    Returns the Denominator property.
  - toDouble
```
public double toDouble()
```
    Converts to a floating-point value (numerator/denominator). May throw an ArithmeticException.
  - toLong
```
public long toLong()
```
    Converts to a long value (numerator/denominator). May throw an ArithmeticException.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
