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

  • 2.275347 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 = 2.275347


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 3

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


y = 2.275347

1,000 × y = 1,000 × 2.275347

1,000 × y = 2,275.347

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

1,000 × y = 2,275.347347

Note: 2,275.347347 = 2,275.347


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 = 2,275.347347 - 2.275347 ⇒

(1,000 - 1) × y = 2,275.347347 - 2.275347 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

999 × y = 2,273.072


Solve for y in the new equation.

999 × y = 2,273.072 ⇒

y = 2,273.072/999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 2.275347

According to our calculations:

y = 2,273.072/999

⇒ 2.275347 = 2,273.072/999


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.

2.275347 = (2,273.072 × 1,000)/(999 × 1,000)

2.275347 = 2,273,072/999,000

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (24 × 142,067; 23 × 33 × 53 × 37) = 23


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

2,273,072/999,000 =

(24 × 142,067)/(23 × 33 × 53 × 37) =

((24 × 142,067) ÷ 23) / ((23 × 33 × 53 × 37) ÷ 23) =

(2 × 142,067)/(33 × 53 × 37) =

284,134/124,875


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.

284,134 ÷ 124,875 = 2, remainder = 34,384 ⇒

284,134 = 2 × 124,875 + 34,384 ⇒

284,134/124,875 =

(2 × 124,875 + 34,384) / 124,875 =

(2 × 124,875) / 124,875 + 34,384/124,875 =

2 + 34,384/124,875 =

2 34,384/124,875
