4.8576 as a fraction equals 48576/10000 or 3036/625

Now let's break down the steps for converting 4.8576 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 4.8576 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
4.8576/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
4.8576 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
48576/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 48576 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 48576 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 11 12 16 22 23 24 32 33 44 46 48 64 66 69 88 92 96 132 138 176 184 192 253 264 276 352 368 506 528 552 704 736 759 1012 1056 1104 1472 1518 2024 2112 2208 3036 4048 4416 6072 8096 12144 16192 24288 48576
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 48576 and 10000 is: 16

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 16 in this case.
48576 ÷ 16/10000 ÷ 16
  =  
3036/625


Great Work! We've just determined that 4.8576 as a fraction equals 48576/10000 or 3036/625 in its simplest form.
