in reply to Perl and maths

It would help to get your example right. What is this?
(5/3 + 7/13)/(5/2-3/7)
and let them perl produce line bye line
(39 + 3/13)/(35-9/21)
Did you mean this?
(65/39 + 21/39)/(35/14 - 6/14)

Edit: fixed typo: thanks Paulster2

    But didn't you mean:

    (65/39 + 21/39) / (35/14 - 6/14) ??

    I agree that the original looks a little screwy though.
