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

  • 37.009399 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 = 37.009399


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 4

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 104 = 10,000


y = 37.009399

10,000 × y = 10,000 × 37.009399

10,000 × y = 370,093.999399


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 × y - y = 370,093.999399 - 37.009399 ⇒

(10,000 - 1) × y = 370,093.999399 - 37.009399 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9,999 × y = 370,056.99


Solve for y in the new equation.

9,999 × y = 370,056.99 ⇒

y = 370,056.99/9,999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 37.009399

According to our calculations:

y = 370,056.99/9,999

⇒ 37.009399 = 370,056.99/9,999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 100.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

37.009399 = (370,056.99 × 100)/(9,999 × 100)

37.009399 = 37,005,699/999,900

37,005,699/999,900 =

(3 × 853 × 14,461)/(22 × 32 × 52 × 11 × 101) =

((3 × 853 × 14,461) ÷ 3) / ((22 × 32 × 52 × 11 × 101) ÷ 3) =

(853 × 14,461)/(22 × 3 × 52 × 11 × 101) =

12,335,233/333,300


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.

12,335,233 ÷ 333,300 = 37, remainder = 3,133 ⇒

12,335,233 = 37 × 333,300 + 3,133 ⇒

12,335,233/333,300 =

(37 × 333,300 + 3,133) / 333,300 =

(37 × 333,300) / 333,300 + 3,133/333,300 =

37 + 3,133/333,300 =

37 3,133/333,300
