Whenever there is the same number in the numerator and the denominator, you can cancel both. If the numbers are different, but have a common factor, you can replace each number by its factors, and cancel some of the factors. When nothing is left on the top or on the bottom, you replace by the number 1 - one being the identity element of multiplication.

Is 0.8333333......a rational number?

YES!!! Because it can be converted to a RATIO. Hence Let 10P = 8.33333.... 100 P = 83.3333.... Subtract 90P = 75 P = 75/90 Cancel down by '5' P = 15/18 Cancel down by '3' P = 5/6 ( A RATIO). This is the fraction in its lowest terms. NB Irrational numbers are 'pi = 3.141592..... . Sqrt(2) = 1.414213562.... Casually irrational numbers have the decimals going to infinity, and there is no regular order in the decial digits. As the name suggests, irrational numbers cannot be converted to a ratio (fraction).

What is the fraction equivelant for 0.52?

To convert a decimal into a fraction, write the decimal number over one like this: .52/1. Next, remove the decimal point and add as many zeroes to the bottom number as there were numbers after the decimal: .52/1 would now be 52/100. The last step is to simplify the fraction: 53/100 = 26/50 = 13/25. The fraction equivalent of .52 is 13/25.
