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.

1.2348 as a fraction equals 12348/10000 or 3087/2500

Now let's break down the steps for converting 1.2348 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 1.2348 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
1.2348/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
1.2348 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
12348/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 12348 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 12348 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 9 12 14 18 21 28 36 42 49 63 84 98 126 147 196 252 294 343 441 588 686 882 1029 1372 1764 2058 3087 4116 6174 12348
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 12348 and 10000 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.
12348 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
3087/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.2348 as a fraction equals 12348/10000 or 3087/2500 in its simplest form.
