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.

0.58368 as a fraction equals 58368/100000 or 1824/3125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.58368 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.58368 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.58368/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.58368 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
58368/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 58368 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 58368 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 19 24 32 38 48 57 64 76 96 114 128 152 192 228 256 304 384 456 512 608 768 912 1024 1216 1536 1824 2432 3072 3648 4864 7296 9728 14592 19456 29184 58368
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 58368 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.
58368 ÷ 32/100000 ÷ 32
  =  
1824/3125


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.58368 as a fraction equals 58368/100000 or 1824/3125 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 proper fractions?

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

Why is there a need to convert decimals to fractions anyway?

The U.S. is one of a few countries worldwide that still uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is a fractional measurement system, where items are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, yards, and so on. The majority of the rest of the world uses the metric system, which is a decimal measurement system, where items are measured in cm, meters, grams, kilos, and so on.

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 are rational numbers?

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers, such as 3/4, -5/2, or 0.75.

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.
