Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.97272 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
97272/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 97272 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 97272 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 12 14 18 21 24 28 36 42 56 63 72 84 126 168 193 252 386 504 579 772 1158 1351 1544 1737 2316 2702 3474 4053 4632 5404 6948 8106 10808 12159 13896 16212 24318 32424 48636 97272
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 97272 and 100000 is: 8

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 8 in this case.
97272 ÷ 8/100000 ÷ 8
  =  
12159/12500


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.97272 as a fraction equals 97272/100000 or 12159/12500 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 whole numbers?

Whole numbers are numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Whole numbers do not have a decimal point or fractional part. Whole numbers are always positive. Negative numbers are not considered whole.

What are composite numbers?

Composite numbers are numbers that are greater than 1 and have more than two factors. For example, 6 is a composite number because it has factors 1, 2,3 and 6.

What are rational numbers?

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers, such as 3/4, -5/2, or 0.75.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.

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.

What is a percentage as a fraction?

A percentage can be written as a fraction by placing it over 100 and simplifying. For example, 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.
