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.

0.54752 as a fraction equals 54752/100000 or 1711/3125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.54752 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.54752 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.54752/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.54752 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
54752/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 54752 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 54752 are: 1 2 4 8 16 29 32 58 59 116 118 232 236 464 472 928 944 1711 1888 3422 6844 13688 27376 54752
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 54752 and 100000 is: 32

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 32 in this case.
54752 ÷ 32/100000 ÷ 32
  =  
1711/3125


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.54752 as a fraction equals 54752/100000 or 1711/3125 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 whole numbers?

Whole numbers are numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Whole numbers do not have a decimal point or fractional part. Whole numbers are always positive. Negative numbers are not considered whole.

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 the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the given numbers. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

What is a square root?

The square root of a number is a value when multiplied by itself, gives that number. For example, the square root of 9 is 3 because 3 × 3 = 9.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal. For example, 1/2 = 2/4 shows a proportional relationship.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.
