14.375 as a fraction

Answer

 

The answer for 14.375 as a fraction is 115/8.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 14.375 is the number, and you can initially consider it as 14.375/1.

 

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 14.375/1 × 1000/1000 = 14375/1000

 

Step 3: Here, 125 is the GCD of 14375 and 1000. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 125. 14375/1000 = 115/8

 

Thus, 14.375 can be written as the fraction 115/8.
