In mathematics , the greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions is a greedy algorithm , first described by Fibonacci , for transforming rational number s into Egyptian fraction s. An Egyptian fraction is a representation of an irreducible fraction as a sum of unit fraction s, as e.g. 5 6 1 2 1 3. As the name indicates, these representations have been used as long ago as Egyptian mathematics ancient Egypt , but the first published systematic method for constructing such expansions is described in the Liber Abaci 1202 of Leonardo of Pisa Fibonacci . It is called a greedy algorithm because at each step the algorithm chooses greedily the largest possible unit fraction that can be used in any representation of the remaining fraction. Fibonacci actually lists several different methods for constructing Egyptian fraction representations Sigler 2002, chapter II.7 . He includes the greedy method as a last resort for situations when several simpler methods fail see Egyptian fraction for a more detailed listing of these methods.

Some programming languages provide a built in primitive or library decimal data type to represent non repeating decimal fraction s like 0.3 and 1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the code decimal.Decimal code type of Python programming language Python , and analogous types provided by other languages. Rationale Fractional numbers are supported on most programming languages as floating point number s or fixed point number s. However, such representations typically restrict the denominator to a power of two. Most decimal fractions or most fractions in general cannot be represented exactly as a fraction with a denominator that is a power of two. For example, the simple decimal fraction 0.3 3 10 might be represented as 5404319552844595 18014398509481984 0.299999999999999988897769... . This inexactness causes many problems that are familiar to experienced programmers. For example, the expression code 0.1 7 0.7 code might counterintuitively evaluate to false in some systems, due to the inexactness of the representation of decimals. Although all decimal fractions are fraction s, and thus it is possible to use a rational data type to represent it exactly, it may be more convenient in many situations to consider only non repeating decimal fractions fractions whose denominator is a power of ten . For example, fractional units of currency worldwide are mostly based on a denominator that is a power of ten. Also, most fractional measurements in science are reported as decimal fractions, as opposed to fractions with any other system of denominators. A decimal data type could be implemented as either a floating point number or as a fixed point number . In the fixed point case, the denominator would be set to a fixed power of ten. In the floating point case, a variable exponent would represent the power of ten to which the mantissa of the number is multiplied. Languages that support a rational data type usually allow the construction of such a value f ... more details
