conveting decimal to a fraction.

Is there an easy way to convert, say 1.75 to display as "1 3/4"

I know I can multiply by 10 until its a whole number. and then take the GCD of:
175 and (10^num_times_multiplied)

175/100 = 7/4
then use mod and div to concat a string of the fraction

Thanks for any help
Or post the code if youve already got it.
