Spanish term or phrase: 705/3458
In Spanish, this number is written out like this "setecientas cinco, tres mil cuatrocientas cincuenta y ochoavas partes". I would like to know if there is a way of writing this number out in English. Many thanks in advance!

English translation:705/3458
Explanation:
Gut instinct tells me that this would be written/said: seven hundred and five three thousand four hundred and fifty-eighths...

Bit wordy and probably better written in number form, or said as seven hundred and five OVER three thousand four hundred and fifty-eight, but I guess it depends on the context and mathematical use...
