How to output fraction instead of decimal number?

Question

In C++, When I calculate 2/3, it will output decimal values, how can I just get the original format (i.e.g 2/3) instead of 0.66666667

Thanks

write your own Rational class to calculate divisions

class Rational
{
public:
    int numerator, denominator;

    Rational(int num, int den=1){
        numerator = num;
        denominator=den;
    }
    Rational(Rational other){
        numerator = other.numerator;
        denominator = other.denominator;
    }
    double operator / (int divisor){
            denominator *= divisor;
            simplificate();
            return getrealformat();
    }
    Rational& operator / (int divisor){
            denominator *= divisor;
            simplificate();
            return this;
    }
    Rational& operator / (Rational &divisor){
            numerator *= divisor.numerator;
            denominator *= divisor.denominator;
            simplificate();
            return this;
    }
    double operator / (int divisor){
            denominator *= divisor;
            simplificate();
        return getrealformat();
    }
    double getrealformat(){
        return numerator/denominator;
    }
    simplificate(){
        int commondivisor = 1;
        for(int i=2;i<=min(abs(numerator), abs(denominator));i++)
            if( numerator%i == 0 && denominator%i == 0 )
                commondivisor = i;
        numerator /= commondivisor;
        denominator /= commondivisor;
    }
};

use

Rational r1(45), r2(90), r3=r1/r2;
cout<
