Numbers can be represented in a variety of ways including percentages, decimals, and fractions. The ability to convert any number from one format to another is an important math skill to have. These skills are typically thought in fifth grade math and require an understanding of place values and Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

In this article, we teach those skills step by step while demonstrating how to convert decimal 0.63585 into a fraction.

Answer: 0.63585 as a fraction equals 63585/100000 or 12717/20000

Here is the solution for converting 0.63585 to a fraction.

0.63585/1
  =  
0.63585 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
63585/100000


Step 3: Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 63585 and 100000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.


The factors of 63585 are: 1  3  5  9  15  27  45  81  135  157  405  471  785  1413  2355  4239  7065  12717  21195  63585 
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 
So for 63585 and 100000 that gives us a GCF value of: 5

Step 4: For the last step we reduce the fraction. This just means writing the fraction in the simplest way. To do this we divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF value we determined in step 3.

63585/100000
  =  
63585 ÷ 5/100000 ÷ 5
  =  
12717/20000
