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.

0.93248 as a fraction equals 93248/100000 or 2914/3125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.93248 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.93248 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.93248/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.93248 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
93248/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 93248 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 93248 are: 1 2 4 8 16 31 32 47 62 64 94 124 188 248 376 496 752 992 1457 1504 1984 2914 3008 5828 11656 23312 46624 93248
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 93248 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.
93248 ÷ 32/100000 ÷ 32
  =  
2914/3125


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.93248 as a fraction equals 93248/100000 or 2914/3125 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

What does the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) mean?

The greatest common factor is also referred to as the highest common factor. In math, this refers to the greatest common divisor of two or more whole numbers (also known as integers). In simple terms, this is the biggest number that can divide evenly into two or more numbers. For example, the GCF for 4 and 8 is 4.

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 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 decimal as a percentage?

A decimal can be converted to a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and adding a percent sign. For example, 0.75 × 100 = 75%.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
