If DT shows the aspect ratio it should try to find the nearest integral

For your exampel it should show 8.2:5, or it should use one of the
common denominators x:2, x:3, x:4, x:9 ...
I don't think that this is a good idea, as the user can not know how close the
actual aspect ratio is to the approximate value that is indicated in the UI.

Of course DT should not round, but it should show the Ratio with an
integer for the small-side. For me showing 8.2/5 or 3.28/2 (with the
pixel-ratio of the OP) is much more meaningful then 1.62/1. I think it
should be possible to select a usable integer numerator/denominator
based on the fractional ratio.
If the user wants to create a crop with one of the common aspect ratios
showing it as simple float makes it very challenging to find the right
values. For example : The user wants to create a crop with 16/9.
Displaying the aspect ratio as 1.77/1 is not a big help.
The challenge is to find the right integer. My idea is to define ratio
ranges for selection :
1.2 - 1.4 : set denominator to 3 gives 3.6/3 - 4.2/3 ( ~4/3)
1.4 - 1.6 : set denominator to 2 gives 2.8/2 - 3.2/2 ( ~3/2)
1.6 - 1.9 : set denominator to 9 gives 14.4/9 - 17.1/9 (~16/9)
