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.

0.8265 as a fraction equals 8265/10000 or 1653/2000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.8265 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.8265 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.8265/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.8265 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
8265/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 8265 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 8265 are: 1 3 5 15 19 29 57 87 95 145 285 435 551 1653 2755 8265
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 8265 and 10000 is: 5

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 5 in this case.
8265 ÷ 5/10000 ÷ 5
  =  
1653/2000


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.8265 as a fraction equals 8265/10000 or 1653/2000 in its simplest form.
