A decimal fraction.
A decimal fraction is called such because it can be represented by a fraction with a denominator with a power of 10.
You can either calculate the fraction and raise the result to the 100th power or raise the numerator to the 100th power and divide it by the denominator raised to the 100th power.
a decimal is a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten and whose numerator is expressed by figures placed to the right of a decimal point.
The expression, 0.261 is referred to as a decimal fraction. To convert it to an ordinary fraction multiply it by the relevant power of 10 to convert it to a number with NO portion AFTER the decimal point, put the relevant power of 10 as the denominator and see if the fraction can be simplified. 0.261 = 0.261 x 1000 / 1000 = 261/1000
To convert a decimal to a fraction, you start by multiplying that decimal by a power of 10 such that there are no digits after the decimal point. In this case you can multiply by 10,000 to get 73,125. Put this power of 10 as the denominator and we have a starting point of 73125/10000. The next step is to identify any common factors between the denominator and the numerator. In this case, both top and bottom can divide by 625, and doing this gives 117/16. This fraction is in its simplest form, and thus 7.3125 as a fraction is 117/16.
The decimal representation.
A decimal fraction is called such because it can be represented by a fraction with a denominator with a power of 10.
a power of 10
a proper fraction whose denominator is a power of 10
Complex fraction Complex fraction - A complex fraction is a fraction where the numerator and/or denominator are a fraction. Decimal - A decimal is a number based on the number 10. It can be thought of as a special type of fraction where the denominator is a power of 10. Decimal point - A period or dot that is part of a decimal number.
The denominator of the fraction is determined by the number of decimal places in the decimal number. If there is one decimal place, the denominator will be 10. If there are two decimal places, the denominator will be 100, and so on.
You can either calculate the fraction and raise the result to the 100th power or raise the numerator to the 100th power and divide it by the denominator raised to the 100th power.
A proper fraction, that is, one with no whole number part, for which the denominator of the fraction is an integral power of ten, may be converted to a decimal of the form: decimal point followed by one fewer zeros than the power of ten in the denominator, followed by the numerator of the fraction.
Reduce the fraction to its simplest form - that is, remove any common factors between the numerator and denominator. If the denominator now is a factor of some power of 10, that is, if the denominator is of the form 2a*5b then the fraction will me a terminating decimal. If not, it will not.
