A '''fractional monzo''' is like an ordinary [[monzo]] except that coefficients have been extended to allow them to be rational numbers. If {{monzo| ''e''<sub>2</sub> ''e''<sub>3</sub> … ''e''<sub>p</sub> }} is a fractional monzo, then it represents 2<sup>''e''<sub>2</sub></sup> 3<sup>''e''<sub>3</sub></sup> … ''p''<sup>''e''<sub>''p''</sub></sup> just as with an ordinary monzo. Hence, for instance, {{monzo| 1/13 -1/13 7/26 }} represents the interval 2<sup>1/13</sup> 3<sup>-1/13</sup> 5<sup>7/26</sup>. By taking the [[least common multiple]] of the denominators, intervals represented by a fractional monzo can always be written as an ''n''-th root of a positive rational number; for instance from our example, (312500/9)<sup>1/26</sup>. By taking a dot product with {{val| cents (2) cents (3) … cents (p) }} the value in cents of a monzo or fractional monzo may be obtained. For instance, in the above example (1/13)×1200.0 - (1/13)×cents (3) + (7/26)×cents (5) = 696.1648 cents. | A '''fractional monzo''' is like an ordinary [[monzo]] except that coefficients have been extended to allow them to be rational numbers.
