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

  • 12.767676 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 = 12.767676


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 6

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 106 = 1,000,000


y = 12.767676

1,000,000 × y = 1,000,000 × 12.767676

1,000,000 × y = 12,767,676.767676


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.

1,000,000 × y - y = 12,767,676.767676 - 12.767676 ⇒

(1,000,000 - 1) × y = 12,767,676.767676 - 12.767676 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

999,999 × y = 12,767,664


Solve for y in the new equation.

999,999 × y = 12,767,664 ⇒

y = 12,767,664/999,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 12.767676

According to our calculations:

y = 12,767,664/999,999

⇒ 12.767676 = 12,767,664/999,999

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (24 × 3 × 7 × 13 × 37 × 79; 33 × 7 × 11 × 13 × 37) = 3 × 7 × 13 × 37


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

12,767,664/999,999 =

(24 × 3 × 7 × 13 × 37 × 79)/(33 × 7 × 11 × 13 × 37) =

((24 × 3 × 7 × 13 × 37 × 79) ÷ (3 × 7 × 13 × 37)) / ((33 × 7 × 11 × 13 × 37) ÷ (3 × 7 × 13 × 37)) =

(24 × 79)/(32 × 11) =

1,264/99


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.

1,264 ÷ 99 = 12, remainder = 76 ⇒

1,264 = 12 × 99 + 76 ⇒

1,264/99 =

(12 × 99 + 76) / 99 =

(12 × 99) / 99 + 76/99 =

12 + 76/99 =

12 76/99
