What is 0.956 as a fraction?

In this article, we will guide you step by step through the process of converting the decimal 0.956 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 0.956 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.

0.956 as a fraction equals 956/1000 or 239/250

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.956 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.956 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.956/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.956 x 1000/1 x 1000
  =  
956/1000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 956 and 1000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 956 are: 1 2 4 239 478 956
The factors of 1000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 20 25 40 50 100 125 200 250 500 1000
The GCF of 956 and 1000 is: 4

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 4 in this case.
956 ÷ 4/1000 ÷ 4
  =  
239/250


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.956 as a fraction equals 956/1000 or 239/250 in its simplest form.
