Until you become expert at this I suggest you do this in two stages (using c and d separately).


Suppose there are c digits after the decimal place where the digits are non-repeating, and followed by a repeating pattern of a string of d digits. Then the numerator is the old original string including one lot of the repeated digits minus the original string with none of the repeating digits. The denominator is 10^c*(10^d - 1), which is a string of d 9s followed by c 0s.

For example

123.26159159… There are 2 digits, "26", after the decimal point before the repeats kick in so c = 2, and the repeating string "159" is 3 digits long so d = 3.

So the numerator is 12326159 – 12326 = 12313833

and the denominator is 99900

Therefore the fraction is 12313833/99900.

Answer to 2.535353 turn into fraction?

If that is a terminating decimal, it is 2 535353/1000000 (as a mixed number) = 2535353/1000000 (as an improper fraction) If that is a repeating decimal 2.535353... with the 53 repeating, it is 2 53/99 = 251/99

Turn 2.3 repeating into a decimal please?

2.3 repeating is already a decimal. It would look like this: 2.33333333333333... If you want a rounded decimal, you can use 2.3. However, 2.3 repeating would be more useful as a fraction for proportions and things. As a fraction, it is 2 1/3 (two and one third).


How do you determine whether you can write a given decimal as a fraction?

How can you turn a repeating decimal into a fraction?

It depends on the repeating decimal, for instance. .3333333=1/3 however if you get a difficult one, for instance .1666666 you will just have to round, 17/100. Hope this helps
