    Did you read the description and the reference on wikipedia? We want to express an approximation of exponential(x) as a rational the numerator of which has a given number of digits (more digits, better the approximation). So in first approximation e = exponential(1) is 65/24 with 2 digits in the numerator 65. In a similar manner an approximation of "pi" is 22/7.
