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 2.2554 into a fraction.

Answer: 2.2554 as a fraction equals 22554/10000 or 11277/5000

Here is the solution for converting 2.2554 to a fraction:

Step 1:

First, we write 2.2554 as

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!
2.2554/1
  =  
2.2554 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
22554/10000


Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 22554 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.

The factors of 22554 are: 1  2  3  6  7  9  14  18  21  42  63  126  179  358  537  1074  1253  1611  2506  3222  3759  7518  11277  22554 
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 22554 and 10000 that gives us a GCF value of: 2

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.
22554/10000
  =  
22554 ÷ 2/10000 ÷ 2
  =  
11277/5000
