What is 2.0202 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 2.0202 into a fraction.

Answer: 2.0202 as a fraction equals 20202/10000 or 10101/5000

Here is the solution for converting 2.0202 to a fraction:

Step 1:

First, we write 2.0202 as  
2.0202/1

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!
2.0202/1
  =  
2.0202 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
20202/10000


Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 20202 and 10000. A factor is a number that divides into another number without any remainder.

The factors of 20202 are: 1  2  3  6  7  13  14  21  26  37  39  42  74  78  91  111  182  222  259  273  481  518  546  777  962  1443  1554  2886  3367  6734  10101  20202 
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 20202 and 10000 that gives us a GCF value of: 2

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.
20202/10000
  =  
20202 ÷ 2/10000 ÷ 2
  =  
10101/5000
