2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.
103.2517 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 = 103.2517
Set up the second equation.
- Number of decimal places repeating: 1
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10
y = 103.2517
10 × y = 10 × 103.2517
10 × y = 1,032.517
Get the same number of decimal places as for y:
10 × y = 1,032.5177
Note: 1,032.5177 = 1,032.517
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 = 1,032.5177 - 103.2517 ⇒
(10 - 1) × y = 1,032.5177 - 103.2517 ⇒
We now have a new equation:
9 × y = 929.266
Solve for y in the new equation.
9 × y = 929.266 ⇒
y = 929.266/9
Let the result written as a fraction.
Now we can write the number as a fraction.
According to our first equation:
y = 103.2517
According to our calculations:
y = 929.266/9
⇒ 103.2517 = 929.266/9
Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.
- Multiply the top and the bottom number by 1,000.
- 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.
103.2517 = (929.266 × 1,000)/(9 × 1,000)
103.2517 = 929,266/9,000
3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
929,266/9,000
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).
929,266 = 2 × 13 × 103 × 347
9,000 = 23 × 32 × 53
Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.
Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.
GCF (2 × 13 × 103 × 347; 23 × 32 × 53) = 2
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.
929,266/9,000 =
(2 × 13 × 103 × 347)/(23 × 32 × 53) =
((2 × 13 × 103 × 347) ÷ 2) / ((23 × 32 × 53) ÷ 2) =
(13 × 103 × 347)/(22 × 32 × 53) =
464,633/4,500
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.
464,633 ÷ 4,500 = 103, remainder = 1,133 ⇒
464,633 = 103 × 4,500 + 1,133 ⇒
464,633/4,500 =
(103 × 4,500 + 1,133) / 4,500 =
(103 × 4,500) / 4,500 + 1,133/4,500 =
103 + 1,133/4,500 =
103 1,133/4,500
