What is 0.9672 as a fraction?

Numbers can be represented in a variety of ways including percentages, decimals, and fractions. The ability to convert any number from one format to another is an important math skill to have. These skills are typically thought in fifth grade math and require an understanding of place values and Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

In this article, we teach those skills step by step while demonstrating how to convert decimal 0.9672 into a fraction.

Answer: 0.9672 as a fraction equals 9672/10000 or 1209/1250

Here is the solution for converting 0.9672 to a fraction:

Step 1:

First, we write 0.9672 as  
0.9672/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point. Remember the numerator is the top part of the fraction and the denominator is the bottom part!
0.9672/1
  =  
0.9672 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
9672/10000


Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 9672 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.

The factors of 9672 are: 1  2  3  4  6  8  12  13  24  26  31  39  52  62  78  93  104  124  156  186  248  312  372  403  744  806  1209  1612  2418  3224  4836  9672 
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 
So for 9672 and 10000 that gives us a GCF value of: 8

Step 4:

For the last step we reduce the fraction. This just means writing the fraction in the simplest way. To do this we divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF value we determined in step 3.
9672/10000
  =  
9672 ÷ 8/10000 ÷ 8
  =  
1209/1250
