We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 1.0992 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.

1.0992 as a fraction equals 10992/10000 or 687/625

Now let's break down the steps for converting 1.0992 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 1.0992 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
1.0992/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
1.0992 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
10992/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 10992 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 10992 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 48 229 458 687 916 1374 1832 2748 3664 5496 10992
The factors of 10000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 40 50 80 100 125 200 250 400 500 625 1000 1250 2000 2500 5000 10000
The GCF of 10992 and 10000 is: 16

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 16 in this case.
10992 ÷ 16/10000 ÷ 16
  =  
687/625


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.0992 as a fraction equals 10992/10000 or 687/625 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 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 terminating decimal?

A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.35 and 3.5 are terminating 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.

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.
