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.

2.4585 as a fraction equals 24585/10000 or 4917/2000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 2.4585 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 2.4585 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
2.4585/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
2.4585 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
24585/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 24585 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 24585 are: 1 3 5 11 15 33 55 149 165 447 745 1639 2235 4917 8195 24585
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 24585 and 10000 is: 5

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 5 in this case.
24585 ÷ 5/10000 ÷ 5
  =  
4917/2000


Great Work! We've just determined that 2.4585 as a fraction equals 24585/10000 or 4917/2000 in its simplest form.
