Convert 0.00000000002 into equivalent fractions and write it as a percentage value

1. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as a percentage.

Approximate to the desired number of decimal places.

0.00000000002 ≈ 0.00000000002


Multiply the number by 100/100.

  • The value of the number does not change when multiplying by 100/100.
  • Note: 100/100 = 1

0.00000000002 =

0.00000000002 × 100/100 =

(0.00000000002 × 100)/100 =

0.000000002/100 =

0.000000002% ≈

0%

(rounded off to max. 2 decimal places)


  • In other words:
  • Approximate to the desired number of decimal places...
  • Multiply the number by 100...
  • ... And then add the percent sign, %
  • 0.00000000002 ≈ 0%

2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as a proper fraction.

  • 0.00000000002 can be written as a proper fraction.

  • The numerator is smaller than the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 0.00000000002


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 10

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 1010 = 10,000,000,000


y = 0.00000000002

10,000,000,000 × y = 10,000,000,000 × 0.00000000002

10,000,000,000 × y = 0.20000000002


Subtract the first equation from the second one.

  • Having the same number of decimal places ...
  • The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.

10,000,000,000 × y - y = 0.20000000002 - 0.00000000002 ⇒

(10,000,000,000 - 1) × y = 0.20000000002 - 0.00000000002 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9,999,999,999 × y = 0.2


Solve for y in the new equation.

9,999,999,999 × y = 0.2 ⇒

y = 0.2/9,999,999,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 0.00000000002

According to our calculations:

y = 0.2/9,999,999,999

⇒ 0.00000000002 = 0.2/9,999,999,999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 10.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

0.00000000002 = (0.2 × 10)/(9,999,999,999 × 10)

0.00000000002 = 2/99,999,999,990


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
2/99,999,999,990
to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible.

To reduce a fraction to the lowest terms divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.


Factor the numerator and denominator (prime factorization).

2 is a prime number, it cannot be factored into other prime factors

99,999,999,990 = 2 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 41 × 271 × 9,091

Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (2; 2 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 41 × 271 × 9,091) = 2


» Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF, online calculator


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

2/99,999,999,990 =

2/(2 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 41 × 271 × 9,091) =

(2 ÷ 2) / ((2 × 32 × 5 × 11 × 41 × 271 × 9,091) ÷ 2) =

1/(32 × 5 × 11 × 41 × 271 × 9,091) =

1/49,999,999,995
