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

  • 4.343435 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 = 4.343435


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 3

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


y = 4.343435

1,000 × y = 1,000 × 4.343435

1,000 × y = 4,343.435

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

1,000 × y = 4,343.435435

Note: 4,343.435435 = 4,343.435


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 = 4,343.435435 - 4.343435 ⇒

(1,000 - 1) × y = 4,343.435435 - 4.343435 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

999 × y = 4,339.092


Solve for y in the new equation.

999 × y = 4,339.092 ⇒

y = 4,339.092/999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 4.343435

According to our calculations:

y = 4,339.092/999

⇒ 4.343435 = 4,339.092/999


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.

4.343435 = (4,339.092 × 1,000)/(999 × 1,000)

4.343435 = 4,339,092/999,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
4,339,092/999,000

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (22 × 3 × 229 × 1,579; 23 × 33 × 53 × 37) = 22 × 3


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

4,339,092/999,000 =

(22 × 3 × 229 × 1,579)/(23 × 33 × 53 × 37) =

((22 × 3 × 229 × 1,579) ÷ (22 × 3)) / ((23 × 33 × 53 × 37) ÷ (22 × 3)) =

(229 × 1,579)/(2 × 32 × 53 × 37) =

361,591/83,250


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.

361,591 ÷ 83,250 = 4, remainder = 28,591 ⇒

361,591 = 4 × 83,250 + 28,591 ⇒

361,591/83,250 =

(4 × 83,250 + 28,591) / 83,250 =

(4 × 83,250) / 83,250 + 28,591/83,250 =

4 + 28,591/83,250 =

4 28,591/83,250
