How do you convert a five digit number into a fraction?

Answer 1

Since this is a decimal you know it is less than 1.

You take the decimal (.22222) and place it over 1. So you get .22222/1

shift the decimal over 5 place on both the numerator and denominator to look like this:

22222/100000 then all you have to do is start reducing.

11111/50000 after checking all the prime numbers to 23, it would appear to be the lowest fraction we can get.
