- 1.057 ≈ 105.71%
2. Write the pure repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.
1.057 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 = 1.057
Set up the second equation.
- Number of decimal places repeating: 3
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 103 = 1,000
y = 1.057
1,000 × y = 1,000 × 1.057
1,000 × y = 1,057.057
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.
1,000 × y - y = 1,057.057 - 1.057 ⇒
(1,000 - 1) × y = 1,057.057 - 1.057 ⇒
We now have a new equation:
999 × y = 1,056
Solve for y in the new equation.
999 × y = 1,056 ⇒
y = 1,056/999
Let the result written as a fraction.
Now we can write the number as a fraction.
According to our first equation:
y = 1.057
According to our calculations:
y = 1,056/999
⇒ 1.057 = 1,056/999
3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
1,056/999
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).
1,056 = 25 × 3 × 11
999 = 33 × 37
Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.
GCF (25 × 3 × 11; 33 × 37) = 3
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
1,056/999 =
(25 × 3 × 11)/(33 × 37) =
((25 × 3 × 11) ÷ 3) / ((33 × 37) ÷ 3) =
(25 × 11)/(32 × 37) =
352/333
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.
352 ÷ 333 = 1, remainder = 19 ⇒
352 = 1 × 333 + 19 ⇒
352/333 =
(1 × 333 + 19) / 333 =
(1 × 333) / 333 + 19/333 =
1 + 19/333 =
1 19/333
352/333 ~ 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 5.
352/333 = (352 × 5)/(333 × 5) = 1,760/1,665
Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 9.
352/333 = (352 × 9)/(333 × 9) = 3,168/2,997
- Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
- ... to the initial fraction: 352/333
