Question
* This class represents a fraction whose numerator and denominator are integers.
*
* Requirements:
* Implement interfaces: FractionInterface and Comparable (i.e. compareTo())
* Implement methods equals() and toString() from class Object
*
* Should work for both positive and negative fractions
* Must always reduce fraction to lowest term
* For number such as 3/-10, it is same as -3/10 (see hints 2. below)
* Must display negative fraction as -x/y,
* example: (-3)/10 or 3/(-10), must display as -3/10
* Must throw excpetion in case of errors
* Must not add new or modify existing data fields
* Must not add new public methods
* May add private methods
*
* Hints:
*
* 1. To reduce a fraction such as 4/8 to lowest terms, you need to divide both
* the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common denominator.
* The greatest common denominator of 4 and 8 is 4, so when you divide
* the numerator and denominator of 4/8 by 4, you get the fraction 1/2.
* The recursive algorithm which finds the greatest common denominator of
* two positive integers is implemnted (see code)
*
* 2. It will be easier to determine the correct sign of a fraction if you force
* the fraction's denominator to be positive. However, your implementation must
* handle negative denominators that the client might provide.
*
* 3. You need to downcast reference parameter FractionInterface to Fraction if
* you want to use it as Fraction. See add, subtract, multiply and divide methods
*
* 4. Use "this" to access this object if it is needed
