![]() ![]() (It’s important to memorize this numerical progression) This is the progression that the division of fractions of inch results: 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, where each new term represents half of the previous one. Fractional InchĪ inch is fractioned in two halves that, in its turn, also are divided in its halves and so on successively. The same if both are divisible by three, five … and so on. No intention to make someone decorate this: if both the numerator and denominator are even numbers it is possible to simplify. We know that 4/8 it’s the same of 1/2 and we must express the fraction in the form of 1/2. ![]() The fraction must be expressed in its simplest possible form or irreducible. Always express it in the mixed form (1 5/8). Keeping the fraction like this is a kind of trap armed against you. See that 1 5/8 it’s equal to 1 + 5/8 = 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8 (keeping the denominator and summing the numerator ).ġ3/8 it’s what we call of ‘improper fraction’ (the value of the numerator is bigger than the denominator). It is not recommended, or elegant, to express the whole number this way. See, in Figure 1, the distance between 0 and 1 is a whole that is divided into eight eighths. It is also possible to represent a whole number in fraction form. In this example, we consider a ‘full’ unit and another five pieces of which was divided into eight (one and five-eighths). The numerator express how many shares will be considered (five). In the example of Figure 1 it was divided into eight parts. The denominator express in how many parts the whole is divided. The example in figure 1 represents an ‘mixed fraction’, which is greater than the unit, in this case, the quantity of wholes is represented to the left of the dividing line (think in a entire pizza more than five pieces). The number over the line is the ‘ numerator‘ and the underneath is the ‘ denominator‘. Generally, the fraction is represented by a pair of numbers aligned in the vertical and separator by a line divider. Step 4: Simplify the remaining fraction to a mixed number fraction if possible.ġ.Figure 1 – representation of a mixed fraction and its corresponding fractional.Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF. Next, given that you have x decimal places, multiply numerator and denominator by 10 x. ![]() First, count how many places are to the right of the decimal. Step 2: Remove the decimal places by multiplication.Step 1: Make a fraction with the decimal number as the numerator (top number) and a 1 as the denominator (bottom number).Apply the negative sign to the fraction answer.Perform the conversion on the positive value.Remove the negative sign from the decimal number.How to Convert a Negative Decimal to a Fraction where the 857142 repeats forever, enter 0.857142 and since the 857142 are the 6 trailing decimal places that repeat, enter 6 for decimal places to repeat. where the 3 repeats forever, enter 1.83 and since the 3 is the only one trailing decimal place that repeats, enter 1 for decimal places to repeat. For a repeating decimal such as 1.8333.where the 36 repeats forever, enter 0.36 and since the 36 are the only two trailing decimal places that repeat, enter 2 for decimal places to repeat. For a repeating decimal such as 0.363636.where the 6 repeats forever, enter 0.6 and since the 6 is the only one trailing decimal place that repeats, enter 1 for decimal places to repeat. For a repeating decimal such as 0.66666.For repeating decimals enter how many decimal places in your decimal number repeat. This calculator converts a decimal number to a fraction or a decimal number to a mixed number. ![]()
