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 6.1068 into a fraction.

Answer: 6.1068 as a fraction equals 61068/10000 or 15267/2500

Here is the solution for converting 6.1068 to a fraction:

Step 1:

First, we write 6.1068 as

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!
6.1068/1
  =  
6.1068 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
61068/10000


Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 61068 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.

The factors of 61068 are: 1  2  3  4  6  7  12  14  21  28  42  84  727  1454  2181  2908  4362  5089  8724  10178  15267  20356  30534  61068 
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 61068 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.
61068/10000
  =  
61068 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
15267/2500
