What is 0.376 as a fraction?

In this article, we will guide you step by step through the process of converting the decimal 0.376 into a fraction. We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 0.376 as a fraction. Finally, we will simplify the fraction by identifying and applying the Greatest Common Factor, ensuring the results are in the simplest form.

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.

0.376 as a fraction equals 376/1000 or 47/125

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.376 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.376 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.376/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.376 x 1000/1 x 1000
  =  
376/1000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 376 and 1000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 376 are: 1 2 4 8 47 94 188 376
The factors of 1000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 20 25 40 50 100 125 200 250 500 1000
The GCF of 376 and 1000 is: 8

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 8 in this case.
376 ÷ 8/1000 ÷ 8
  =  
47/125


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.376 as a fraction equals 376/1000 or 47/125 in its simplest form.

Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What are mixed numbers?

A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction.

What are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

What are irrational numbers?

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include π (pi) and √2 (the square root of 2).

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number as a fraction of 100. It is denoted using the '%' symbol. For example, 20% means 20 out of 100.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

A fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Check out our fraction page for lots of examples on how to convert fractions into decimals.

What is a decimal as a percentage?

A decimal can be converted to a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and adding a percent sign. For example, 0.75 × 100 = 75%.
