Example: 36% turns to 36/100. To simplify, look for the highest number that goes into 36 and 100. In this case, that would be 4. Determine how many times 4 goes into 36 and 100. When you simplify, the answer would be 9/25. To check that you’ve converted correctly, divide 9 by 25 (0. 36) and multiply by 100 (36%). This number should equal your original percent.
For example: 0. 32 has two decimal places. Move the decimal two places to the right and divide by 100: 32/100. With a common factor of 4, the fraction simplifies to 8/25. Another example: 0. 8 only has one decimal place. Move the decimal one place to the right and divide by 10: 8/10. With a common factor of 2, the fraction simplifies to 4/5. To check your work, simply divide out the fraction and make sure it equals your original decimal: 8/25 = 0. 32.
For example, 0. 131313. . . is multiplied by 100 (10 to the power of 2) and we get 13. 131313. . . To determine the numerator (top number), subtract out the repeating portion of the decimal. For example, 13. 131313. . .
- 0. 131313. . . = 13, so the numerator is 13. [6] X Research source To determine the denominator (lower number), subtract 1 from the number you multiplied with. For example, 0. 131313. . . was multiplied by 100, so the denominator is 100 - 1 = 99. The final fraction for 0. 131313… is 13/99 Additional Examples: 0. 333. . . becomes 3/9 0. 123123123. . . becomes 123/999 0. 142857142857. . . becomes 142857/999999 If necessary, take the fraction to the lowest term. For example, 142857/999999 becomes 1/7.
For example: The fraction 4/8 yields the decimal 0. 5.
For example: The fraction 5/17 yields the decimal 0. 2941176470588… The final decimal can be written simply as 0. 29.
If you had 4/8, dividing 4 by 8 would give you . 50, then multiplying that number by 100 would give you 50. Adding a percent sign gives you your final answer by 50%. Additional Examples: 3/10 = 0. 30 * 100 = 30% 5/8= 0. 625 * 100 = 62. 5%
