Christian Semrau commented on LANG-663:
---------------------------------------
These methods fail to reduce their arguments. This may be due to the
commons-math Fraction (which seems to be the source) is always in reduced form.
But commons-lang Fraction is not always reduced, and so multiplyBy must reduce
its arguments, before cross-reducing the two arguments.
> org.apache.commons.lang3.math.Fraction does not always succeed in multiplyBy
> and divideBy

> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Christian Semrau
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Fraction.multiplyBy and divideBy methods fail sometimes when the
> arguments are not reduced.

> public void testMultiply() {
> // ...
> f1 = Fraction.getFraction(Integer.MAX_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
> f2 = Fraction.getFraction(42, 1);
> f = f1.multiplyBy(f2);
> assertEquals(42, f.getNumerator());
> assertEquals(1, f.getDenominator());
> public void testDivide() {
> // ...
> f1 = Fraction.getFraction(Integer.MAX_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
> f2 = Fraction.getFraction(42, 1);
> f = f1.divideBy(f2);
> assertEquals(1, f.getNumerator());
> assertEquals(42, f.getDenominator());
