(a) 111 divided by 333 reduces to 1 divided by 3
but is not 1 divided by 3 ... hence
111 % 333x
111r333 NB. non reduced representation
(b) x could give something like
111 % 333x
0.33333333333333333333333333333333...

You can get J to use "Extended precision integers" by slapping an x on the end
of a number (or, look into the verb x: ). The
story's longer and more sordid than that, but play with it for a while.
