Hi Thomas:
Thanks for taking the time to give me such a detailed explanation! Can
you maybe walk me through a few examples that I can try and use as a
reference? I finally can see that what I should have been doing from the
start is take the fraction that is stored in the balance column and just
do the division on that to come up with my correct "value". That is
simple enough and really I am not sure how I missed it.
What I can't figure out, even after trying to apply your explanation, is
how I am seeing values like below in my balance columns.
balance balanceFormatted
-3133/25 -125.32
726071/50 14521.42
66919/25 2676.76
Since I know most of the time I have the actual value from the user as a
string, how to I take that value and apply the formatMoney() methods to
get to the fraction side? I am struggling trying to take my -125.32 and
returning the fraction of -3133/25.
If you can walk me through some of these that would be fantastic!
Thanks again for all the help.

I'm not an expert, but in case Thomas is tied up, this seems to be a
possibility.
Multiply by 100 to eliminate the decimal fraction (Can't remember, if I
ever knew, the proper maths terminology).
125.32 = 125.32 * 100/100 = 12532/100 = 6266/50 = 3133/25
14521.42 = 14521.42 * 100/100 = 1452142/100 = 726071/50
If that makes it more confusing, apologies.
Allan
