By the end of this guide, you should have a good understanding of decimal to fraction conversions and be able to apply this knowledge to various mathematical problems. Let's begin.

0.04614 as a fraction equals 4614/100000 or 2307/50000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.04614 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.04614 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.04614/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.04614 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
4614/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 4614 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 4614 are: 1 2 3 6 769 1538 2307 4614
The factors of 100000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 32 40 50 80 100 125 160 200 250 400 500 625 800 1000 1250 2000 2500 3125 4000 5000 6250 10000 12500 20000 25000 50000 100000
The GCF of 4614 and 100000 is: 2

Step 4:

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), which we calculated in the previous step. The GCF value is 2 in this case.
4614 ÷ 2/100000 ÷ 2
  =  
2307/50000


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.04614 as a fraction equals 4614/100000 or 2307/50000 in its simplest form.
