What is 1.5112 as a Fraction?

Numbers can be represented in a variety of ways including percentages, decimals, and fractions. The ability to convert any number from one format to another is an important math skill to have. These skills are typically thought in fifth grade math and require an understanding of place values and Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

In this article, we teach those skills step by step while demonstrating how to convert decimal 1.5112 into a fraction.

Answer: 1.5112 as a fraction equals 15112/10000 or 1889/1250

Here is the solution for converting 1.5112 to a fraction.
Step 1: First, we write 1.5112 as  
1.5112/1

Step 2: Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point. Remember the numerator is the top part of the fraction and the denominator is the bottom part!

1.5112/1
  =  
1.5112 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
15112/10000


Step 3: Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 15112 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.


The factors of 15112 are: 1  2  4  8  1889  3778  7556  15112 
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 
So for 15112 and 10000 that gives us a GCF value of: 8

Step 4: For the last step we reduce the fraction. This just means writing the fraction in the simplest way. To do this we divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF value we determined in step 3.

15112/10000
  =  
15112 ÷ 8/10000 ÷ 8
  =  
1889/1250
