2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as a proper fraction.

0.307693 can be written as a proper fraction.

The numerator is smaller than the denominator.


Set up the first equation.

Let y equal the decimal number:


y = 0.307693


Set up the second equation.

Number of decimal places repeating: 1

Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10


y = 0.307693


10 × y = 10 × 0.307693


10 × y = 3.07693


Get the same number of decimal places as for y:


10 × y = 3.076933


Note: 3.076933 = 3.07693


Subtract the first equation from the second equation.

Having the same number of decimal places ...

The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.


10 × y - y = 3.076933 - 0.307693


(10 - 1) × y = 3.076933 - 0.307693


We now have a new equation:


9 × y = 2.76924


Solve for y in the new equation.

9 × y = 2.76924 ⇒


y = 2.76924/9


Let the result written as a fraction.



Write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 0.307693


According to our calculations:

y = 2.76924/9


⇒ 0.307693 = 2.76924/9


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

Multiply the top and the bottom number by 100,000.

1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.


0.307693 = (2.76924 × 100,000)/(9 × 100,000)


0.307693 = 276,924/900,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above: 276,924/900,000
(to the lowest terms, to its simplest equivalent form, irreducible).

To reduce a fraction divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.


Factor both the numerator and the denominator (prime factorization).

In exponential notation (an):


276,924 = 22 × 3 × 47 × 491


900,000 = 25 × 32 × 55



Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF.

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (22 × 3 × 47 × 491; 25 × 32 × 55) = 22 × 3



Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, GCF.

276,924/900,000 =


(22 × 3 × 47 × 491)/(25 × 32 × 55) =


((22 × 3 × 47 × 491) ÷ (22 × 3)) / ((25 × 32 × 55) ÷ (22 × 3)) =


(47 × 491)/(23 × 3 × 55) =


23,077/75,000


23,077/75,000: Equivalent fractions.

The above fraction cannot be reduced.


That is, it has the smallest possible numerator and denominator.


By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions.


Multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.


Example 1. By expanding the fraction by 3:

23,077/75,000 = (23,077 × 3)/(75,000 × 3) = 69,231/225,000

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 5:

23,077/75,000 = (23,077 × 5)/(75,000 × 5) = 115,385/375,000

Of course, the above fractions are reducing...


... to the initial fraction: 23,077/75,000
