Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one of these types. A fraction is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fractions represent both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, decimals are expressed with a decimal point, such as 8.66. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 8.66 as a fraction is 433/50.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task that can be done easily by following these steps.
Step 1: First, convert the decimal number to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 8.66 is the number on the numerator with 1 as the denominator. So, 8.66 becomes 8.66/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are two decimal places). 8.66/1 × 100/100 = 866/100
Step 3: The GCD of 866 and 100 is 2. Now, to simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 866/100 = 433/50
Thus, 8.66 can be written as a fraction 433/50.
