Convert the decimal number 0.625. Turn it into a reduced (simplified) proper fraction and write it as a percentage. Calculate other equivalent fractions to the decimal number, by expanding

Convert 0.625

1. Write the number as a percentage.

Multiply the number by 100/100

Note: 100/100 = 1

The value of the number does not change when multiplying by 100/100


0.625 =

0.625 × 100/100 =

(0.625 × 100)/100 =

62.5/100 =

62.5%


In other words:

Multiply the number by 100...

... And then add the percent sign, %

0.625 = 62.5%

2. Write the number as a proper fraction.

0.625 can be written as a proper fraction.

The numerator is smaller than the denominator.


Write down the number divided by 1, as a fraction:

0.625 = 0.625/1

Turn the top number into a whole number.

Multiply both the top and the bottom by the same number.

This number is: 1,000.

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


0.625/1 =

(0.625 × 1,000)/(1 × 1,000) =

625/1,000


3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above: 625/1,000
(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):

625 = 54

1,000 = 23 × 53


Prime factorization: break numbers down to prime factors, online calculator


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

Multiply all the common prime factors by the lowest exponents.

GCF (54; 23 × 53) = 53


Calculate the greatest (highest) common factor (divisor), GCF, online calculator


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

625/1,000 =

54/(23 × 53) =

(54 ÷ 53) / ((23 × 53) ÷ 53) =

5/23 =

5/8


5/8: 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 5:

5/8 = (5 × 5)/(8 × 5) = 25/40

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 6:

5/8 = (5 × 6)/(8 × 6) = 30/48

Of course, the above fractions are reducing...

... to the initial fraction: 5/8
