2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.
1.0416668 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 = 1.0416668
Set up the second equation.
- Number of decimal places repeating: 1
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10
y = 1.0416668
10 × y = 10 × 1.0416668
10 × y = 10.416668
Get the same number of decimal places as for y:
10 × y = 10.4166688
Note: 10.4166688 = 10.416668
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 × y - y = 10.4166688 - 1.0416668 ⇒
(10 - 1) × y = 10.4166688 - 1.0416668 ⇒
We now have a new equation:
9 × y = 9.375002
Solve for y in the new equation.
9 × y = 9.375002 ⇒
y = 9.375002/9
Let the result written as a fraction.
Now we can write the number as a fraction.
According to our first equation:
y = 1.0416668
According to our calculations:
y = 9.375002/9
⇒ 1.0416668 = 9.375002/9
Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.
- Multiply the top and the bottom number by 1,000,000.
- 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.
1.0416668 = (9.375002 × 1,000,000)/(9 × 1,000,000)
1.0416668 = 9,375,002/9,000,000
3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
9,375,002/9,000,000
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).
9,375,002 = 2 × 7 × 13 × 51,511
9,000,000 = 26 × 32 × 56
Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.
GCF (2 × 7 × 13 × 51,511; 26 × 32 × 56) = 2
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
9,375,002/9,000,000 =
(2 × 7 × 13 × 51,511)/(26 × 32 × 56) =
((2 × 7 × 13 × 51,511) ÷ 2) / ((26 × 32 × 56) ÷ 2) =
(7 × 13 × 51,511)/(25 × 32 × 56) =
4,687,501/4,500,000
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.
4,687,501 ÷ 4,500,000 = 1, remainder = 187,501 ⇒
4,687,501 = 1 × 4,500,000 + 187,501 ⇒
4,687,501/4,500,000 =
(1 × 4,500,000 + 187,501) / 4,500,000 =
(1 × 4,500,000) / 4,500,000 + 187,501/4,500,000 =
1 + 187,501/4,500,000 =
1 187,501/4,500,000
