Convert 1.035 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 (14).

1.035 ≈ 1.03535353535354


Multiply the number by 100/100.

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

1.03535353535354 =

1.03535353535354 × 100/100 =

(1.03535353535354 × 100)/100 =

103.535353535354/100 =

103.535353535354% ≈

103.54%

(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, %
  • 1.035 ≈ 103.54%

2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.

  • 1.035 can be written as an improper fraction.

  • The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 1.035


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 2

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 102 = 100


y = 1.035

100 × y = 100 × 1.035

100 × y = 103.535


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.

100 × y - y = 103.535 - 1.035 ⇒

(100 - 1) × y = 103.535 - 1.035 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

99 × y = 102.5


Solve for y in the new equation.

99 × y = 102.5 ⇒

y = 102.5/99

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 1.035

According to our calculations:

y = 102.5/99

⇒ 1.035 = 102.5/99


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.

1.035 = (102.5 × 10)/(99 × 10)

1.035 = 1,025/990


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
1,025/990
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).

1,025 = 52 × 41

990 = 2 × 32 × 5 × 11

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (52 × 41; 2 × 32 × 5 × 11) = 5


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

1,025/990 =

(52 × 41)/(2 × 32 × 5 × 11) =

((52 × 41) ÷ 5) / ((2 × 32 × 5 × 11) ÷ 5) =

(5 × 41)/(2 × 32 × 11) =

205/198


4. The fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction):

  • A mixed number = an integer number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.
  • Example 1: 2 1/5; Example 2: - 1 3/7.
  • A proper fraction = the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

205 ÷ 198 = 1, remainder = 7 ⇒

205 = 1 × 198 + 7 ⇒

205/198 =

(1 × 198 + 7) / 198 =

(1 × 198) / 198 + 7/198 =

1 + 7/198 =

1 7/198


205/198 ~ 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.

205/198 = (205 × 2)/(198 × 2) = 410/396

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 4.

205/198 = (205 × 4)/(198 × 4) = 820/792

  • Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
  • ... to the initial fraction: 205/198
