Convert 53.35 into equivalent fractions and write it as a percentage value

1. Write the number as a percentage.

  • Multiply the number by 100/100
  • Note: 100/100 = 1
  • The value of the number does not change when multiplying by 100/100

53.35 =


53.35 × 100/100 =


(53.35 × 100)/100 =


5,335/100 =


5,335%


  • In other words:
  • Multiply the number by 100...
  • ... And then add the percent sign, %
  • 53.35 = 5,335%


2. Write the number as an improper fraction.

  • 53.35 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:

53.35 = 53.35/1


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.

53.35/1 =


(53.35 × 100)/(1 × 100) =


5,335/100


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above:
5,335/100
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).

5,335 = 5 × 11 × 97


100 = 22 × 52



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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.


GCF (5 × 11 × 97; 22 × 52) = 5



Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

5,335/100 =


(5 × 11 × 97)/(22 × 52) =


((5 × 11 × 97) ÷ 5) / ((22 × 52) ÷ 5) =


(11 × 97)/(22 × 5) =


1,067/20


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.

1,067 ÷ 20 = 53, remainder = 7 ⇒


1,067 = 53 × 20 + 7 ⇒


1,067/20 =


(53 × 20 + 7) / 20 =


(53 × 20) / 20 + 7/20 =


53 + 7/20 =


53 7/20


1,067/20 ~ Equivalent fractions.

  • The above fraction cannot be reduced.
  • That is, it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator.
  • By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions.

  • Multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.


Example 1. By expanding the fraction by 2.

1,067/20 = (1,067 × 2)/(20 × 2) = 2,134/40

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 3.

1,067/20 = (1,067 × 3)/(20 × 3) = 3,201/60

  • Of course, the above fractions are reducing...
  • ... to the initial fraction: 1,067/20
