To convert a decimal to a fractionm. Place the decimal over 'one point' followed by the same number of zeroes as digits in the decimal number.

Hence

0.408 / 1.000

Cancel down the decimal point

0408 / 1000

Drop the trivial zero to the left of 408

Hence

408/1000

Cancel down by '4'

102/ 250

Cancel down by '2'

51/125

This will not cancel down any further as there are no common factors between '51' and '125'.

Hence

0.408 = 51/125
