We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 5.832 as a fraction. Finally, we will simplify the fraction by identifying and applying the Greatest Common Factor, ensuring the results are in the simplest form.

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.

5.832 as a fraction equals 5832/1000 or 729/125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 5.832 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 5.832 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
5.832/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
5.832 x 1000/1 x 1000
  =  
5832/1000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 5832 and 1000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 5832 are: 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 12 18 24 27 36 54 72 81 108 162 216 243 324 486 648 729 972 1458 1944 2916 5832
The factors of 1000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 20 25 40 50 100 125 200 250 500 1000
The GCF of 5832 and 1000 is: 8

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 8 in this case.
5832 ÷ 8/1000 ÷ 8
  =  
729/125


Great Work! We've just determined that 5.832 as a fraction equals 5832/1000 or 729/125 in its simplest form.
