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

  • 3.1428576 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 = 3.1428576


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 7

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 107 = 10,000,000


y = 3.1428576

10,000,000 × y = 10,000,000 × 3.1428576

10,000,000 × y = 31,428,576.1428576


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.

10,000,000 × y - y = 31,428,576.1428576 - 3.1428576 ⇒

(10,000,000 - 1) × y = 31,428,576.1428576 - 3.1428576 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9,999,999 × y = 31,428,573


Solve for y in the new equation.

9,999,999 × y = 31,428,573 ⇒

y = 31,428,573/9,999,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 3.1428576

According to our calculations:

y = 31,428,573/9,999,999

⇒ 3.1428576 = 31,428,573/9,999,999

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (3 × 11 × 952,381; 32 × 239 × 4,649) = 3


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

31,428,573/9,999,999 =

(3 × 11 × 952,381)/(32 × 239 × 4,649) =

((3 × 11 × 952,381) ÷ 3) / ((32 × 239 × 4,649) ÷ 3) =

(11 × 952,381)/(3 × 239 × 4,649) =

10,476,191/3,333,333


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.

10,476,191 ÷ 3,333,333 = 3, remainder = 476,192 ⇒

10,476,191 = 3 × 3,333,333 + 476,192 ⇒

10,476,191/3,333,333 =

(3 × 3,333,333 + 476,192) / 3,333,333 =

(3 × 3,333,333) / 3,333,333 + 476,192/3,333,333 =

3 + 476,192/3,333,333 =

3 476,192/3,333,333
