For example, the decimal number 92.6 can be expressed as a fraction, and we are going to learn how to convert this decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 92.6 as a fraction is 463/5.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward process. You can follow the steps below to find the answer.
Step 1: Convert the decimal number to fraction form. Here, 92.6 is the number in the numerator, and the base number 1 is the denominator. Thus, 92.6 becomes 92.6/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 92.6/1 × 10/10 = 926/10
Step 3: To simplify the fraction, find the GCD of 926 and 10, which is 2. Divide the numerator and the denominator by this GCD. 926/10 ÷ 2/2 = 463/5
Thus, 92.6 can be written as the fraction 463/5.
