2. Write the pure repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.

5.03 can be written as an improper fraction.

(The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator).

Set up the first equation.

Let y equal the decimal number:

y = 5.03

Set up the second equation.

Number of decimal places repeating: 2

Multiply both sides of the first equation by 10² = 100

y = 5.03

100 × y = 100 × 5.03

100 × y = 503.03

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.

100 × y - y = 503.03 - 5.03 =>

(100 - 1) × y = 503.03 - 5.03 =>

We now have a new equation:

99 × y = 498

Solve for y in the new equation.

99 × y = 498 =>

y = ⁴⁹⁸/₉₉

Let the result written down as a fraction.

Write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 5.03

According to our calculations:

y = ⁴⁹⁸/₉₉

=> 5.03 = ⁴⁹⁸/₉₉

3. Reduce (simplify) the fraction above: ⁴⁹⁸/₉₉
(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):

498 = 2 × 3 × 83

99 = 3² × 11

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 (2 × 3 × 83; 3² × 11) = 3

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

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

^{((2 × 3 × 83) ÷ 3)} / _{((3² × 11) ÷ 3)} =

^{(2 × 83)}/_{(3 × 11)} =

¹⁶⁶/₃₃

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.

166 ÷ 33 = 5, remainder = 1 =>

166 = 5 × 33 + 1 =>

¹⁶⁶/₃₃ =

^{(5 × 33 + 1)} / ₃₃ =

^{(5 × 33)} / ₃₃ + ¹/₃₃ =

5 + ¹/₃₃ =

5 ¹/₃₃

¹⁶⁶/₃₃: 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).

Example 1. By expanding the fraction by 4:

¹⁶⁶/₃₃ = ^{(166 × 4)}/_{(33 × 4)} = ⁶⁶⁴/₁₃₂

Example 2. By expanding the fraction by 6:

¹⁶⁶/₃₃ = ^{(166 × 6)}/_{(33 × 6)} = ⁹⁹⁶/₁₉₈

Of course, the above fractions are reducing...

... to the initial fraction: ¹⁶⁶/₃₃
