according to my calculator, yes. but I can't give you any more info right now.


EDIT: yep there is no problem moding two fractions, it works just like moding whole numers.

if that's the case, how do you do that in C ? *confused* any help is appreciated.

I was afraid you were going to ask about doing this in C, because for that, I have no idea. Plus I'm too tired to test it out in C, but rest asured, it is possible mathematically.


here's an idea, but I haven't completely tested it, multiply the numerators by the common denomenator, mod the numerators, then divide the answer by the common denom.
