Step 1: count number of digits after the decimal point [= n]

Step 2: for the numerator of the fraction, write the number without the decimal point.

Step 3: for the denominator, write 10n, where n, the number of zeros after the one, is as calculated at step 1.

Step 4: simplify by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2 or 5 (as many times as possible).

So for 0.875,

Step 1: n = 3

Step 2: 875/

Step 3: 875/1000

Step 4: 175/200 = 35/40 = 7/8 .
