Finally, we will simplify the fraction by identifying and applying the Greatest Common Factor, ensuring the results are in the simplest form.

By the end of this guide, you should have a good understanding of decimal to fraction conversions and be able to apply this knowledge to various mathematical problems. Let's begin.

0.10106 as a fraction equals 10106/100000 or 5053/50000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.10106 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.10106 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.10106/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.10106 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
10106/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 10106 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 10106 are: 1 2 31 62 163 326 5053 10106
The factors of 100000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 32 40 50 80 100 125 160 200 250 400 500 625 800 1000 1250 2000 2500 3125 4000 5000 6250 10000 12500 20000 25000 50000 100000
The GCF of 10106 and 100000 is: 2

Step 4:

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which we calculated in the previous step. The GCF value is 2 in this case.
10106 ÷ 2/100000 ÷ 2
  =  
5053/50000


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.10106 as a fraction equals 10106/100000 or 5053/50000 in its simplest form.

Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What are proper fractions?

Proper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). Example 2/3

What does the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) mean?

The greatest common factor is also referred to as the highest common factor. In math, this refers to the greatest common divisor of two or more whole numbers (also known as integers). In simple terms, this is the biggest number that can divide evenly into two or more numbers. For example, the GCF for 4 and 8 is 4.

What is an absolute value?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero. For example, the absolute value of -20 is 20.

What are rounding decimals?

Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.

What is a percentage as a fraction?

A percentage can be written as a fraction by placing it over 100 and simplifying. For example, 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
