Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, the numbers in decimal are expressed with a decimal point (.), For example, 0.203, we are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.203 as a fraction will be 203/1000.
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, 0.203 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.203 becomes 0.203/1.
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). 0.203/1 × 1000/1000 = 203/1000
Step 3: Here, the GCD of 203 and 1000 is 1. Therefore, the fraction is already in its simplest form, and no further simplification is needed.
Thus, 0.203 can be written as a fraction 203/1000.
