2. Write the pure repeating (recurring) decimal number as a proper fraction.
0.2267 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 = 0.2267
Set up the second equation.
- Number of decimal places repeating: 4
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 104 = 10,000
y = 0.2267
10,000 × y = 10,000 × 0.2267
10,000 × y = 2,267.2267
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 × y - y = 2,267.2267 - 0.2267 ⇒
(10,000 - 1) × y = 2,267.2267 - 0.2267 ⇒
We now have a new equation:
9,999 × y = 2,267
Solve for y in the new equation.
9,999 × y = 2,267 ⇒
y = 2,267/9,999
Let the result written as a fraction.
Now we can write the number as a fraction.
According to our first equation:
y = 0.2267
According to our calculations:
y = 2,267/9,999
⇒ 0.2267 = 2,267/9,999
3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
2,267/9,999
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).
2,267 is a prime number, it cannot be factored into other prime factors
9,999 = 32 × 11 × 101
Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.
But, the numerator and the denominator have no common factors.
GCF (2,267; 32 × 11 × 101) = 1
The numerator and the denominator are coprime numbers (no common prime factors, GCF = 1). So, the fraction cannot be reduced (simplified): irreducible fraction.
2,267/9,999 ~ Equivalent fractions.
- The above fraction cannot be reduced.
- That is, it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator.
By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions.
Multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.
Example 1. By expanding the fraction by 2.
2,267/9,999 = (2,267 × 2)/(9,999 × 2) = 4,534/19,998
Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 3.
2,267/9,999 = (2,267 × 3)/(9,999 × 3) = 6,801/29,997
- Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
- ... to the initial fraction: 2,267/9,999
:: Final answer ::
