Count the decimal places
Each digit after the decimal point becomes a power of 10 in the denominator. One place means ÷10, two places means ÷100, and so on.
-
Remove the decimal point
Write the digits (including any whole-number part) as the numerator over the power-of-10 denominator you found.
-
Simplify the fraction
Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to reach the simplest form.
-
Express as a mixed number (if needed)
When the numerator is larger than the denominator, divide to separate the whole number from the remaining fractional part.
