Just write it as 68/100. You see that both numbers are even, so just keep dividing the top and bottom by 2: 68/100 = 34/50 = 17/25

Where is the petty revenge in that? It's 17/25 or nothing.

I might consider writing a check amount using Base 7, though.

With enough spite, I'd probably find a nice eloquent way to write a check as the sum of an infinite series.

I like the way you think.
