+1 I would call it org.apache.commons.fractions (non-mathematicians know "fractions" more than "rationals", e.g. useful for those dealing with ancient imperial measurements that occasionally crash Mars probes).
I think this is a clean and self-contained component, and also easy to maintain for anyone. Can the dependencies on "Standard Maths" be reduced to simplify maintenance and deployment? (I can help with this if you agree) The odd private function that happens to look the same as a function in Math* is OK considering the exact structure and home for "Standard Math" might be harder to settle (now). Similarly you will see other Commons components that include fragments of Commons IO, to avoid a dependency just for a single function.
