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.

3.0268 as a fraction equals 30268/10000 or 7567/2500

Now let's break down the steps for converting 3.0268 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 3.0268 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
3.0268/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
3.0268 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
30268/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 30268 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 30268 are: 1 2 4 7 14 23 28 46 47 92 94 161 188 322 329 644 658 1081 1316 2162 4324 7567 15134 30268
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 30268 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.
30268 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
7567/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 3.0268 as a fraction equals 30268/10000 or 7567/2500 in its simplest form.

Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What are proper fractions?

Proper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). Example 2/3

What are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

What are imperial fractions?

Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial fraction.

What is an exponent?

An exponent refers to the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

What is an absolute value?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero. For example, the absolute value of -20 is 20.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
