Rational numbers in Julia

Rational number in julia can be constructed with the // operator:

x = 1//3
y = 2//5

2//5

Operations with rational number returns a new rational number

x + y

11//15

x * y

2//15

Everytime a rational number is constructed, it will be simplified using the gcd function, for example 2//4 simplifies to 1//2:

2//4

1//2

and 2//4 + 2//4 simplifies to 1//1:

2//4 + 2//4

1//1
