What is 1.8016 as a fraction?

In this article, we will guide you step by step through the process of converting the decimal 1.8016 into a fraction. We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 1.8016 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.

1.8016 as a fraction equals 18016/10000 or 1126/625

Now let's break down the steps for converting 1.8016 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 1.8016 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
1.8016/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
1.8016 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
18016/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 18016 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 18016 are: 1 2 4 8 16 32 563 1126 2252 4504 9008 18016
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 18016 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.
18016 ÷ 16/10000 ÷ 16
  =  
1126/625


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.8016 as a fraction equals 18016/10000 or 1126/625 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 are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

Why is there a need to convert decimals to fractions anyway?

The U.S. is one of a few countries worldwide that still uses the Imperial system of measurement, which is a fractional measurement system, where items are measured in feet, inches, pounds, ounces, yards, and so on. The majority of the rest of the world uses the metric system, which is a decimal measurement system, where items are measured in cm, meters, grams, kilos, and so on.

What is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the given numbers. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

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 is a decimal as a percentage?

A decimal can be converted to a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and adding a percent sign. For example, 0.75 × 100 = 75%.
