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.

1.8984 as a fraction equals 18984/10000 or 2373/1250

Now let's break down the steps for converting 1.8984 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 1.8984 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
1.8984/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
1.8984 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
18984/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 18984 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 18984 are: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 12 14 21 24 28 42 56 84 113 168 226 339 452 678 791 904 1356 1582 2373 2712 3164 4746 6328 9492 18984
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 18984 and 10000 is: 8

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 8 in this case.
18984 ÷ 8/10000 ÷ 8
  =  
2373/1250


Great Work! We've just determined that 1.8984 as a fraction equals 18984/10000 or 2373/1250 in its simplest form.
