Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
1.5444 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
15444/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 15444 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 15444 are: 1 2 3 4 6 9 11 12 13 18 22 26 27 33 36 39 44 52 54 66 78 99 108 117 132 143 156 198 234 286 297 351 396 429 468 572 594 702 858 1188 1287 1404 1716 2574 3861 5148 7722 15444
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 15444 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.
15444 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
3861/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.5444 as a fraction equals 15444/10000 or 3861/2500 in its simplest form.
