Question about fractional values.

Is there a way where i can separate a whole number from a fraction for example (5/3), is there a way to make it (5)(1/3)?

[Matt Fig]

Do you have strings or what?

S = '(5/3)' % Like this?

use Symbolic Math Toolbox

x = sym('5/3');
[N,D] = numden(x);
out = [N,1/D];

solved my problem using [N,D] = rat(x). thanks though :D
