Then you may help people helping you by giving examples of your own use cases,
first.

From this single example, you don't need "fractal" (decimal or binary) numbers
at all, just plain ints. Look up "fixed point arithmetics" on wikipedia, the
article is rather good. It's easy and clean in comparison, at least if you only
need simple operations. (That's how, by the way, monetary/financial software is
or at least used to be implemented.)
