Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2 is a fraction, whereas numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), such as 10.26. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 10.26 as a fraction will be 513/50.
Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task 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, 10.26 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 10.26 becomes 10.26/1.
Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are only 2 decimal places). 10.26/1 × 100/100 = 1026/100
Step 3: Here 2 is the GCD of 1026 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 1026/100 = 513/50 Hence, 10.26 in the form of a fraction is 513/50.
Thus, 10.26 can be written as a fraction 513/50.
