Convert 1.336 into equivalent fractions and write it as a percentage value

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

Approximate to the desired number of decimal places (14).

1.336 ≈ 1.33633633633634


Multiply the number by 100/100.

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

1.33633633633634 =

1.33633633633634 × 100/100 =

(1.33633633633634 × 100)/100 =

133.633633633634/100 =

133.633633633634% ≈

133.63%

(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, %
  • 1.336 ≈ 133.63%

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

  • 1.336 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 = 1.336


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 3

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 103 = 1,000


y = 1.336

1,000 × y = 1,000 × 1.336

1,000 × y = 1,336.336


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 = 1,336.336 - 1.336 ⇒

(1,000 - 1) × y = 1,336.336 - 1.336 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

999 × y = 1,335


Solve for y in the new equation.

999 × y = 1,335 ⇒

y = 1,335/999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 1.336

According to our calculations:

y = 1,335/999

⇒ 1.336 = 1,335/999


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
1,335/999
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).

1,335 = 3 × 5 × 89

999 = 33 × 37


» Prime factorization: break numbers down to prime factors, online calculator


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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (3 × 5 × 89; 33 × 37) = 3


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

1,335/999 =

(3 × 5 × 89)/(33 × 37) =

((3 × 5 × 89) ÷ 3) / ((33 × 37) ÷ 3) =

(5 × 89)/(32 × 37) =

445/333


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.

445 ÷ 333 = 1, remainder = 112 ⇒

445 = 1 × 333 + 112 ⇒

445/333 =

(1 × 333 + 112) / 333 =

(1 × 333) / 333 + 112/333 =

1 + 112/333 =

1 112/333


445/333 ~ 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 4.

445/333 = (445 × 4)/(333 × 4) = 1,780/1,332

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 7.

445/333 = (445 × 7)/(333 × 7) = 3,115/2,331

  • Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
  • ... to the initial fraction: 445/333
