Maybe this is what you want?
(%i1) bfloat(22/7), fpprec:4;
(%o1) 3.143b0

I am not shure this Item is correct; I found it as a
translation of the german "Nachkommastelle"
Example:
(%i61) float(22/7);
(%o61) 3.142857142857143
(%i62) round(float(22/7));
(%o62) 3
but I want:
(%i63) ???(22/7);
(%o63) 3.143
Hoy may I manage this?
