Before you simplify everything as much as possible then calculate the result.

In any case exist quadruple-precision floating-point format (128-bits) for those who need a lot of precision.
I think fractions should really be added as a basic data type like floats, like, a 32bits unsigned fraction would have 16bits as the numerator and other 16bits as the denominator and it would own its own "+ - * /"... just like floats
