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

  • 1.636363639 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 = 1.636363639


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 5

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 105 = 100,000


y = 1.636363639

100,000 × y = 100,000 × 1.636363639

100,000 × y = 163,636.363963639


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.

100,000 × y - y = 163,636.363963639 - 1.636363639 ⇒

(100,000 - 1) × y = 163,636.363963639 - 1.636363639 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

99,999 × y = 163,634.7276


Solve for y in the new equation.

99,999 × y = 163,634.7276 ⇒

y = 163,634.7276/99,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 1.636363639

According to our calculations:

y = 163,634.7276/99,999

⇒ 1.636363639 = 163,634.7276/99,999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 10,000.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

1.636363639 = (163,634.7276 × 10,000)/(99,999 × 10,000)

1.636363639 = 1,636,347,276/999,990,000
