How do I find miller indices for a plane whose intercepts are fractions of the lattice constant?

[I'm talking with respect to cubic lattices alone.] For instance, if a plane has $x,y,z$ intercepts $a/2,a/2,a/2$ (where $a$ is the lattice constant) the miller index would be $[2\space2\space2]$. The ...

How do the three Miller indices (hkl) denote planes orthogonal to the reciprocal lattice vector?

The Wikipedia page for Miller indices defines Miller indices as follows: There are two equivalent ways to define the meaning of the Miller indices: via a point in the reciprocal lattice, or as the ...
