You could rationalize the end result, e.g.
Rationalize[NLMFit["ParameterTable"], 10^-6]
a, b and c in the model are inexact numbers which get rationalized in
the formula. Since the model is actually linear in the parameters, you
could use LinearModelFit with WorkingPrecision->Infinity to get an exact
result but that will include huge Root object expressions, so you would
still need to rationalize an inexact numeric approximation of the result
like in the following to get rationals.
lm = LinearModelFit[NoisyParabola, {x, x^2}, x,
WorkingPrecision -> Infinity];
Rationalize[N[lm["ParameterTable"], 20], 10^-6]
