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

  • 14.1669 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 = 14.1669


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 1

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10


y = 14.1669

10 × y = 10 × 14.1669

10 × y = 141.669

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

10 × y = 141.6699

Note: 141.6699 = 141.669


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 = 141.6699 - 14.1669 ⇒

(10 - 1) × y = 141.6699 - 14.1669 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9 × y = 127.503


Solve for y in the new equation.

9 × y = 127.503 ⇒

y = 127.503/9

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 14.1669

According to our calculations:

y = 127.503/9

⇒ 14.1669 = 127.503/9


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.

14.1669 = (127.503 × 1,000)/(9 × 1,000)

14.1669 = 127,503/9,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
127,503/9,000
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).

127,503 = 32 × 31 × 457

9,000 = 23 × 32 × 53

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (32 × 31 × 457; 23 × 32 × 53) = 32


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

127,503/9,000 =

(32 × 31 × 457)/(23 × 32 × 53) =

((32 × 31 × 457) ÷ 32) / ((23 × 32 × 53) ÷ 32) =

(31 × 457)/(23 × 53) =

14,167/1,000


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.

14,167 ÷ 1,000 = 14, remainder = 167 ⇒

14,167 = 14 × 1,000 + 167 ⇒

14,167/1,000 =

(14 × 1,000 + 167) / 1,000 =

(14 × 1,000) / 1,000 + 167/1,000 =

14 + 167/1,000 =

14 167/1,000
