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

  • 4.3435 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 = 4.3435


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 3

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


y = 4.3435

1,000 × y = 1,000 × 4.3435

1,000 × y = 4,343.5435


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 = 4,343.5435 - 4.3435 ⇒

(1,000 - 1) × y = 4,343.5435 - 4.3435 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

999 × y = 4,339.2


Solve for y in the new equation.

999 × y = 4,339.2 ⇒

y = 4,339.2/999

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 4.3435

According to our calculations:

y = 4,339.2/999

⇒ 4.3435 = 4,339.2/999


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 10.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

4.3435 = (4,339.2 × 10)/(999 × 10)

4.3435 = 43,392/9,990


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
43,392/9,990
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).

43,392 = 27 × 3 × 113

9,990 = 2 × 33 × 5 × 37

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (27 × 3 × 113; 2 × 33 × 5 × 37) = 2 × 3


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

43,392/9,990 =

(27 × 3 × 113)/(2 × 33 × 5 × 37) =

((27 × 3 × 113) ÷ (2 × 3)) / ((2 × 33 × 5 × 37) ÷ (2 × 3)) =

(26 × 113)/(32 × 5 × 37) =

7,232/1,665


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.

7,232 ÷ 1,665 = 4, remainder = 572 ⇒

7,232 = 4 × 1,665 + 572 ⇒

7,232/1,665 =

(4 × 1,665 + 572) / 1,665 =

(4 × 1,665) / 1,665 + 572/1,665 =

4 + 572/1,665 =

4 572/1,665
