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 0.736 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 0.736 to a fraction

    Step 1: Write down 0.736 divided by 1:

    0.736 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
    0.736 1 = 736 1000
    right under arrow
    × 1000

    (Do you see how it turns the top number into a whole number?)

    Step 3: Simplify the Fraction:
    ÷8
    right over arrow
    736 1000 = 92 125
    right under arrow
    ÷8

    Answer = 92 125

    Note: 736/1000 is called a decimal fraction and 92/125 is called a common fraction !
