Does anyone have a solution for the occasional HUGE integers that can be
created for the numerator/denominator when using inexact->exact?

For example,

(inexact->exact 0.2)

yields

3602879701896400/18014398509482000

It is correct, but LP doesn't seem to want to deal with such large
integers, at least for me. Can this be reduced to 1/5 somehow? Is there a
better way to get a rational from a decimal? I can write a crazy function
that procedurally determines the minimum power of 10 that gives me a
rational with smaller numbers, but I'd rather not. Any advice is very
welcome.
