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

  • 5.737664 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 = 5.737664


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 2

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 102 = 100


y = 5.737664

100 × y = 100 × 5.737664

100 × y = 573.7664

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

100 × y = 573.766464

Note: 573.766464 = 573.7664


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.

100 × y - y = 573.766464 - 5.737664 ⇒

(100 - 1) × y = 573.766464 - 5.737664 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

99 × y = 568.0288


Solve for y in the new equation.

99 × y = 568.0288 ⇒

y = 568.0288/99

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 5.737664

According to our calculations:

y = 568.0288/99

⇒ 5.737664 = 568.0288/99


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 10,000.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

5.737664 = (568.0288 × 10,000)/(99 × 10,000)

5.737664 = 5,680,288/990,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
5,680,288/990,000
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).

5,680,288 = 25 × 29 × 6,121

990,000 = 24 × 32 × 54 × 11

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (25 × 29 × 6,121; 24 × 32 × 54 × 11) = 24


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

5,680,288/990,000 =

(25 × 29 × 6,121)/(24 × 32 × 54 × 11) =

((25 × 29 × 6,121) ÷ 24) / ((24 × 32 × 54 × 11) ÷ 24) =

(2 × 29 × 6,121)/(32 × 54 × 11) =

355,018/61,875


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.

355,018 ÷ 61,875 = 5, remainder = 45,643 ⇒

355,018 = 5 × 61,875 + 45,643 ⇒

355,018/61,875 =

(5 × 61,875 + 45,643) / 61,875 =

(5 × 61,875) / 61,875 + 45,643/61,875 =

5 + 45,643/61,875 =

5 45,643/61,875
