What are fraction ?

Word “fraction” is derived from the Latin word fractus. It simply means how many parts of a whole we have. A fraction consists of a numerator, a slash and denominator. For example in the fraction 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

Steps to convert 0.639 to fraction ?

Steps:
  • Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1
  • Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.)
  • Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction
  • Example: Convert 0.639 to a fraction

    Step 1: Write down 0.639 divided by 1:

    0.639 1

    Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 1000 (because there are 3 digits after the decimal point so that is 1000:
    × 1000
    right over arrow
    0.639 1 = 639 1000

    ÷1
    right over arrow
