Mine is 5/8.
Expressed in decimal form, that's 0.625. As you know, 625 is 25^2, or 5^4.
So, 5^4 / 10^3 = 5/8. :)

ummmmmm

1/8th because it's typically the best bang for your buck.

Hmmm perhaps these interesting sums are related to the 'prime' factor of the 5...?
..Language of the universe, math.

Hard to beat the 1.618 golden ratio, but I might say 1/3
Dividing things into thirds seems more satisfying than dividing them in half.
1/12 is good because it incorporates 2, 3, and 4
1/60 gets 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

2 / sqrt(2)
(still a fraction)

1/1 because you can multiply or divide anything by 1/1 and nobody will notice a difference >.>...until it's too late! tis the sneakiest of fractions

22/7 >.>
I prefer C/D (circumference/diameter). It works with any circle, btw. And it gives this crazy number with so many decimals. I've been working on it, and I've gotten up to 20 decimal places, with no repeating pattern. So weird. Ima keep going till it ends.

i'm gonna go with: */0

355/113
EDIT: didn't realize regack beat me to it with 22/7 :)
-
3/4 its just seems such a perfect fraction :D Not quite a 100% but so much higher than 50%
Its also like 50% of 50% added to 50%...
¿que?

I've been thinking about this for a while, and come to the realisation that I do not have a favourite fraction.
I'll just stick to integers, thank you.
And the set of natural numbers, in an ideal world.

Yeah I wasn't really thinking when I posted.... I hate fractions!

Yeah, it's hard for me to pick a good fraction. Most of my favourite numbers are either irrational, imaginary, or prime.
That said, here's probably my favourite fraction if it counts.

Poor old "π" gets rounded to the nearest whole number which in banking terms it'll be 3 instead of 4.

1/1 :D

I don't care for fractions. Decimal system all the way, thank you. It makes comparing numbers to each other so much easier and more logical.
Actually, they are useful for ratios of scale (maps), relative volumes / weights (chemical processes, etc) and pi is best described as circumference over diameter (the decimal version takes up too much space ;) ), but I always convert to decimal for actually working with stuff.

i can't even this thread

I used to love fractions in school.
1/8!
-
544/64 because it's between 512/64 and 576/64.
-
6/9 If you know what i mean

6/9 If you know what i mean
Actually, I'm not sure what 6/9 was like. Now 7/9, she was a hottie.
Resistance, while fun, was ultimately futile.

I treat all fractions as they should be treated: as a part of a whole.

I don't think he's talking about tree :). I like 1/8 as well, because 1/4 is too much for one evening unless you have a decent sized group.

ln(2)/λ

Definitely 2π/5, as 2π/5 radians is equal to one of the five angles in a pentagon.
