Gimo commented on NUMBERS-91:
-----------------------------

Hi,

I would like to work on this issue and I did a rough scan on the BigFraction and Fraction classes and I appreciate if some one can help me clarify some things.
{quote}static factory methods{quote}
What do you mean by Factory methods? What the purpose of this? "getReducedFraction" is the only static function I found so far. Are there any more to implement?
{quote}private constructors{quote}
BigFraction  already contains such constructor. "{color:#333333}BigFraction(final double value, final double epsilon,{color}{color:#333333}final int maxDenominator, int maxIterations)"{color}
