What is 2.8836 as a Fraction?

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 2.8836 into a fraction.

Answer: 2.8836 as a fraction equals 28836/10000 or 7209/2500

Here is the solution for converting 2.8836 to a fraction.
Step 1: First, we write 2.8836 as  
2.8836/1

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!

2.8836/1
  =  
2.8836 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
28836/10000


Step 3: Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 28836 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.


The factors of 28836 are: 1  2  3  4  6  9  12  18  27  36  54  81  89  108  162  178  267  324  356  534  801  1068  1602  2403  3204  4806  7209  9612  14418  28836 
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 28836 and 10000 that gives us a GCF value of: 4

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.

28836/10000
  =  
28836 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
7209/2500
