What is 0.925 as a fraction?

In this article, we will guide you step by step through the process of converting the decimal 0.925 into a fraction. We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 0.925 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.

0.925 as a fraction equals 925/1000 or 37/40

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.925 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.925 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.925/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.925 x 1000/1 x 1000
  =  
925/1000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 925 and 1000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 925 are: 1 5 25 37 185 925
The factors of 1000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 20 25 40 50 100 125 200 250 500 1000
The GCF of 925 and 1000 is: 25

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 25 in this case.
925 ÷ 25/1000 ÷ 25
  =  
37/40


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.925 as a fraction equals 925/1000 or 37/40 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 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 irrational numbers?

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include π (pi) and √2 (the square root of 2).

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 is a mean (average)?

The mean, or average, is calculated by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the total number of values. For example, the mean of 3, 4, and 5 is (3 + 4 + 5)/3 = 4.

What is a decimal place?

A decimal place refers to the position of a digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, in 3.141, the digit 1 is in the thousandths place.

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.
