How to convert decimal to fraction
- Make a fraction with the decimal number as the numerator and a 1 as the denominator.
- Remove the decimal places by multiplication. First, count how many places are to the right of the decimal. Next, given that you have x decimal places, multiply numerator and denominator by 10 x.
- Reduce the fraction. Find the Greatest Common Factor of the numerator and denominator and divide both numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor.
- Simplify the remaining fraction to a mixed number fraction if possible.
Example
- 0.56 = 0.56/1
- 0.56/1 x 100/100 = 56/100
- gcd(56,100) = 4
- 0.56 = (56/4) / (100/4) = 14/25
