A fraction represents both a whole and a fractional part. Decimals represent the fractional part of numbers. For example, 1/2, where numbers in decimal form are expressed with a decimal point (.), such as 0.043. We are going to learn how to convert a decimal to a fraction.
The answer for 0.043 as a fraction will be 43/1000.
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, 0.043 is the number with the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 0.043 becomes 0.043/1.
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). 0.043/1 × 1000/1000 = 43/1000
Step 3: The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 43 and 1000 is 1, meaning the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Thus, 0.043 can be written as a fraction 43/1000.
