2. Multiply the decimal by 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places (10² = 100).
3. Write the result as a fraction with the denominator as 10 raised to the power of the number of decimal places.
4. Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

Worked Example

Let's walk through converting 0.71 to a fraction step by step:

1. Start with 0.71/1
2. Multiply numerator and denominator by 100: (0.71 × 100)/(1 × 100) = 71/100
3. Check if 71/100 can be simplified. Since 71 is a prime number and doesn't divide 100, the fraction is already in simplest form.

The final fraction is 71/100.

Simplifying Fractions

After converting a decimal to a fraction, you should simplify it to its lowest terms. Here's how to do it:

1. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator.
2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.
3. The resulting fraction is in its simplest form.

For 71/100, since 71 is prime and doesn't divide 100, the fraction is already simplified.
