Use this for woodworking and metalwork when a decimal readout needs to match a ruler. Type decimal inches and pick how fine to round.
The leftover after the whole inches is rounded to the nearest 1/n, then reduced (2 6/16 becomes 2 3/8). Pick a coarser denominator if you want a simpler mark, knowing it may round more. Decimal output is the original value unless rounding lands on a whole inch.
