How to Convert 0.625 to a Fraction

Converting a decimal like 0.625 to a fraction involves a few simple steps. Here's how it works:

Formula: To convert a decimal to a fraction, write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1, then multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 until the numerator is a whole number.

For 0.625:

Write 0.625 as a fraction: 0.625/1
Multiply both numerator and denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal: 6.25/10
Multiply again by 10 to make the numerator a whole number: 62.5/100
Multiply one more time: 625/1000
Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 125: 5/8

The simplified fraction for 0.625 is 5/8.

Step-by-Step Conversion

Let's break down the conversion process in more detail:

Step 1: Write the Decimal as a Fraction

Start by writing the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 1:

0.625 = 0.625/1

Step 2: Eliminate the Decimal

Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 until the numerator becomes a whole number:

0.625/1 × 10/10 = 6.25/10

6.25/10 × 10/10 = 62.5/100

62.5/100 × 10/10 = 625/1000

Step 3: Simplify the Fraction

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 625 and 1000, which is 125. Divide both numerator and denominator by 125:

625 ÷ 125 = 5

1000 ÷ 125 = 8

So, 625/1000 simplifies to 5/8.

Tip: Remember that the denominator should always be a power of 10 when converting decimals to fractions. This makes simplification easier.
