    Decimal to Fraction

    I've created a Fraction class that will take a double in the constructor and transform it into a printable fraction. I've got everything working fine except for repeating fractions like 1/3. I know I need to change the code for my Fraction constructor (using doubles), but I'm not sure how.

    Here is my fraction class:

    public class Fraction
    {
    int n,d;

    public Fraction()
    {
    n=0;
    d=0;
    }
    public Fraction (double doubleFraction)
    {
    this.gcd((int)(doubleFraction*100),100);
    }
    public Fraction (int numerator, int denominator)
    {
    this.gcd(numerator,denominator);
    }
    private void gcd (int numerator, int denominator)
    {
    int highest;

    if (denominator>numerator)
    highest=denominator;
    else
    highest=numerator;

    for(int x = highest;x>0;x--)
    {
    if (denominator%x==0 && numerator%x==0)
    {
    this.n=numerator/x;
    this.d=denominator/x;
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    public String getFraction()
    {
    int wholeNumber;

    if (this.n == this.d)
    return("" + 1);
    else if (this.d > this.n)
    return (this.n + "/" + this.d);
    else
    {
    Fraction test = new Fraction(this.n,this.d);
    wholeNumber = (int)(test.n/test.d);

    test.gcd(test.n%test.d,test.d);

    return (wholeNumber + " " + test.n + "/" + test.d);
    }
    }
    }

    Thanks for any help.
