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 0.684 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 0.684 to a fraction

    Step 3: Simplify the Fraction:
    ÷4
    right over arrow
    684 1000 = 171 250
    right under arrow
    ÷4
