A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2; numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), for example, 4.63. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 4.63 as a fraction will be 463/100.
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, 4.63 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 4.63 becomes 4.63/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 4.63/1 × 100/100 = 463/100
