Write the following decimal fraction as a simple fraction and simplify:
Since there is one digit after the decimal point, we divide 8 by 10:
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! One decimal place = divide by 10, two places = divide by 100, three places = divide by 1000, and so on.
Start by checking if both numbers are even (divide by 2). Then try other small numbers like 3, 5, 7. You can also list all factors of each number and find the greatest common one.
A fraction is simplified when the numerator and denominator have no common factors except 1. If you can't divide both by the same number anymore, you're done!
Absolutely! Divide the numerator by denominator: . If you get your original decimal, you're correct!
Same process! For example, 0.25 = after dividing by GCD of 25.
