Phones to Fractions

I once visited my friends in the country of Kwotentia. In this strange land, all the phone numbers must be dialed as fractions.  

My friend Yoo’s number was 333-3333. Her number was easy to dial as a fraction. My other friend Claude’s number was 714-2857. It took me a while to realize I could just dial 5 and 7. But I had no idea how to dial my friend Ian’s number, until he told me to dial 3706/4475. Can you find your own Kwotentia phone number, perhaps with some help from my friends Yoo, Claude, Ian?
