We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 0.3876 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.

0.3876 as a fraction equals 3876/10000 or 969/2500

Now let's break down the steps for converting 0.3876 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 0.3876 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
0.3876/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
0.3876 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
3876/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 3876 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 3876 are: 1 2 3 4 6 12 17 19 34 38 51 57 68 76 102 114 204 228 323 646 969 1292 1938 3876
The factors of 10000 are: 1 2 4 5 8 10 16 20 25 40 50 80 100 125 200 250 400 500 625 1000 1250 2000 2500 5000 10000
The GCF of 3876 and 10000 is: 4

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 4 in this case.
3876 ÷ 4/10000 ÷ 4
  =  
969/2500


Great Work! We've just determined that 0.3876 as a fraction equals 3876/10000 or 969/2500 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 whole numbers?

Whole numbers are numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Whole numbers do not have a decimal point or fractional part. Whole numbers are always positive. Negative numbers are not considered whole.

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 imperial fractions?

Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial fraction.

What are prime numbers?

Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and themselves. Examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and so on.

What is a mean (average)?

The mean, or average, is calculated by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the total number of values. For example, the mean of 3, 4, and 5 is (3 + 4 + 5)/3 = 4.

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.
