About Fraction class in py3

Question

Is there is a way to find the number at kth position after the decimal point in float representation of a fraction? k is up to 10^6. I tried converting float(Fraction) to str, it didn't give me desired precision.

Answer 1

You are looking for the decimal module in Python (comes out of the box with Python).

from decimal import *

division = 5 / 3
print(division)  # 1.6666666666666667

getcontext().prec = 6
division = Decimal(5) / Decimal(3)
print(division)  # 1.66667
