We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 0.5124 as a fraction. 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.

0.5124 as a fraction equals 5124/10000 or 1281/2500

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.5124 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.5124 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.5124/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.5124 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
5124/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 5124 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 5124 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 12 14 21 28 42 61 84 122 183 244 366 427 732 854 1281 1708 2562 5124
The factors of 10000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 40 50 80 100 125 200 250 400 500 625 1000 1250 2000 2500 5000 10000
The GCF of 5124 and 10000 is: 4

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 4 in this case.
5124 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
1281/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.5124 as a fraction equals 5124/10000 or 1281/2500 in its simplest form.
