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.

0.93175 as a fraction equals 93175/100000 or 3727/4000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.93175 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.93175 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.93175/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.93175 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
93175/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 93175 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 93175 are: 1 5 25 3727 18635 93175
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 93175 and 100000 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.
93175 ÷ 25/100000 ÷ 25
  =  
3727/4000


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.93175 as a fraction equals 93175/100000 or 3727/4000 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 simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

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 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 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 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 fraction as a percentage?

A fraction can be converted to a percentage by dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100. For example, 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.50 × 100 = 50%.
