2. Write the number as an improper fraction.

  • 53.34 can be written as an improper fraction.
  • An improper fraction = the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator..

Write down the number divided by 1, as a fraction:

53.34 = 53.34/1


Turn the top number into a whole number.

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

53.34/1 =

(53.34 × 100)/(1 × 100) =

5,334/100


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
5,334/100

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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (2 × 3 × 7 × 127; 22 × 52) = 2


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


Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

5,334/100 =

(2 × 3 × 7 × 127)/(22 × 52) =

((2 × 3 × 7 × 127) ÷ 2) / ((22 × 52) ÷ 2) =

(3 × 7 × 127)/(2 × 52) =

2,667/50


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.

2,667 ÷ 50 = 53, remainder = 17 ⇒

2,667 = 53 × 50 + 17 ⇒

2,667/50 =

(53 × 50 + 17) / 50 =

(53 × 50) / 50 + 17/50 =

53 + 17/50 =

53 17/50
