What is Fraction?
A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written in the form of a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator (e.g., 3/4).
How to Convert Decimal to Fraction (Step-by-Step)
Write the Decimal Over 1:
Example: 0.75 → 0.75/1Eliminate the Decimal:
Multiply both numerator and denominator by 100 (for two decimal places).
0.75 × 100 / 1 × 100 = 75/100Simplify the Fraction:
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 75 and 100 (which is 25).
75 ÷ 25 / 100 ÷ 25 = 3/4
So, 0.75 = 3/4.
Example – Negative Decimal to Fraction
If the decimal is -0.5:
Write it as -0.5/1
Multiply by 10 to remove decimal:
-0.5 × 10 / 1 × 10 = -5/10Simplify:
-5/10 = -1/2
So, -0.5 = -1/2.
