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

  • 5.4548 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 = 5.4548


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 1

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10


y = 5.4548

10 × y = 10 × 5.4548

10 × y = 54.548

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

10 × y = 54.5488

Note: 54.5488 = 54.548


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 × y - y = 54.5488 - 5.4548 ⇒

(10 - 1) × y = 54.5488 - 5.4548 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9 × y = 49.094


Solve for y in the new equation.

9 × y = 49.094 ⇒

y = 49.094/9

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 5.4548

According to our calculations:

y = 49.094/9

⇒ 5.4548 = 49.094/9


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.

5.4548 = (49.094 × 1,000)/(9 × 1,000)

5.4548 = 49,094/9,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
49,094/9,000
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).

49,094 = 2 × 24,547

9,000 = 23 × 32 × 53

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (2 × 24,547; 23 × 32 × 53) = 2


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

49,094/9,000 =

(2 × 24,547)/(23 × 32 × 53) =

((2 × 24,547) ÷ 2) / ((23 × 32 × 53) ÷ 2) =

24,547/(22 × 32 × 53) =

24,547/4,500


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.

24,547 ÷ 4,500 = 5, remainder = 2,047 ⇒

24,547 = 5 × 4,500 + 2,047 ⇒

24,547/4,500 =

(5 × 4,500 + 2,047) / 4,500 =

(5 × 4,500) / 4,500 + 2,047/4,500 =

5 + 2,047/4,500 =

5 2,047/4,500
