You can use fractions to express exact values for most numbers. For example 1 / 17 is exact as a fraction, but you will need to round and lose precision expressing the same as a real number, one divided by seventeen (0.05882352.....).

Used in mathematical expressions, fractions are not only more accurate as explained above, but also often lead neatly to simplifications or even solutions.
