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.

0.16475 as a fraction equals 16475/100000 or 659/4000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.16475 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.16475 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.16475/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.16475 x 100000/1 x 100000
  =  
16475/100000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 16475 and 100000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 16475 are: 1 5 25 659 3295 16475
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 16475 and 100000 is: 25

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 25 in this case.
16475 ÷ 25/100000 ÷ 25
  =  
659/4000


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.16475 as a fraction equals 16475/100000 or 659/4000 in its simplest form.
