Comment(by zimmerma):
Burcin, with respect to your example:
{{{
sage: 1/3 - RR(1/3).exact_rational()
1/54043195528445952
}}}
the problem is that when you type RR(1/3), say a is this object, then Sage
does not know it comes from 1/3!
If you consider that you only have a=RR(1/3), but you don't know how it
was obtained, then every such a is
an exact rational, because the form mantissa*2**exp is always an exact
rational.
