Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
2.1452 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
21452/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 21452 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 21452 are: 1 2 4 31 62 124 173 346 692 5363 10726 21452
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 21452 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.
21452 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
5363/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 2.1452 as a fraction equals 21452/10000 or 5363/2500 in its simplest form.
