7.7265 as a fraction equals 77265/10000 or 15453/2000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 7.7265 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 7.7265 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
7.7265/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
7.7265 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
77265/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 77265 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 77265 are: 1 3 5 9 15 17 45 51 85 101 153 255 303 505 765 909 1515 1717 4545 5151 8585 15453 25755 77265
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 77265 and 10000 is: 5

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 5 in this case.
77265 ÷ 5/10000 ÷ 5
  =  
15453/2000


Great Work! We've just determined that 7.7265 as a fraction equals 77265/10000 or 15453/2000 in its simplest form.
