Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:
Since there are two digits after the decimal point, we divide 58 by 100:
Now let's find the highest number that divides both the numerator and denominator.
In this case, the number is 2, so:
Without calculating, determine whether the quotient in the division exercise is less than 1 or not:
\( 5:6= \)
Count the decimal places! For 0.58, there are 2 decimal places, so use (100 = 10²). For 0.375, there are 3 places, so use .
List the factors of both numbers or use the division method. For 58 and 100: factors of 58 are 1, 2, 29, 58 and factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100. The largest common factor is 2.
No, you need to convert the decimal to a fraction first! You can't simplify 0.58 directly. Always convert to first, then simplify to .
Divide the numerator by the denominator! For : 29 ÷ 50 = 0.58. If you get back your original decimal, you're right!
Same process! For 0.125 (3 decimal places), write , then find GCD of 125 and 1000, which is 125, giving you .
