How to Transform a Decimal into a Fraction: Steps to Follow:

  1. Express the decimal number as a fraction, using the digits after the decimal point as the numerator and a corresponding power of 10 as the denominator.
  2. Identify the greatest common divisor (gcd) of both the numerator and denominator.
  3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the identified gcd.

Example #1

Convert 0.32 to fraction:

0.32 = 
32100

Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the numerator and the denominator:

gcd(32,100) = 4

Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator with the gcd:

0.32 = 
324
 ÷ 
1004
 = 
825

Example #2

Convert 2.56 to fraction:

2.56 = 2
56100

Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the numerator and the denominator:

gcd(56,100) = 4

Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator with the gcd:

2
56100
 = 2 + 
564
 ÷ 
1004
 = 2
1425

Example #3

Convert 0.124 to fraction:

0.124 = 
1241000

Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the numerator and the denominator:

gcd(124,1000) = 4

Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator with the gcd:

0.124 = 
1244
 ÷ 
10004
 = 
31250

How to convert repeating decimal to fraction
