Convert the decimal number 14.563. Turn it into a reduced (simplified) improper fraction, into a mixed number and write it as a percentage. Calculate other equivalent fractions to the decimal number, by expanding
Write the decimal number 14.563. As a reduced (simplified) positive improper fraction. As a mixed number. As a percentage. As equivalent fractions.
The numerator and the denominator are coprime numbers (no common prime factors, GCF = 1). So, the fraction cannot be reduced (simplified): irreducible fraction.
4. The fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction):
A mixed number = an integer number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.
Example 1: 2 1/5; Example 2: - 1 3/7.
A proper fraction = the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
14,563 ÷ 1,000 = 14, remainder = 563 =>
14,563 = 14 × 1,000 + 563 =>
14,563/1,000 =
(14 × 1,000 + 563) / 1,000 =
(14 × 1,000) / 1,000 + 563/1,000 =
14 + 563/1,000 =
14 563/1,000
14,563/1,000: Equivalent fractions.
The above fraction cannot be reduced.
That is, it has the smallest numerator and denominator possible.
By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions.
(Multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number).
Learn how to turn a decimal number into a fraction and a percentage. Steps.
1. How to write the number as a percentage:
Multiply the number by 100. Then add the percent sign, %.
2. How to write the number as a fraction:
Write down the number divided by 1, as a fraction.
Turn the top number into a whole number: multiply both the top and the bottom by the same number.
Reduce (simplify) the above fraction 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.
If the fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction).
Calculate equivalent fractions. By expanding it we can build up equivalent fractions: multiply the numerator & the denominator by the same number.
