If the template argument D is zero or the absolute values of either of the template arguments N and D is not representable by type intmax_­t, the program is ill-formed. [ Note: These rules ensure that infinite ratios are avoided and that for any negative input, there exists a representable value of its absolute value which is positive. In a two's complement representation, this excludes the most negative value.  — end note ]

The static data members num and den shall have the following values, where gcd represents the greatest common divisor of the absolute values of N and D:
