We will start by understanding how a decimal represents the fractional part of a number, then break down the steps to rewrite 2.3285 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.

2.3285 as a fraction equals 23285/10000 or 4657/2000

Now let's break down the steps for converting 2.3285 into a fraction.

Step 1:

First, we express 2.3285 as a fraction by placing it over 1:
2.3285/1

Step 2:

Next, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 for each digit after the decimal point.
2.3285 x 10000/1 x 10000
  =  
23285/10000

Step 3:

Next, we find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for 23285 and 10000. Keep in mind a factor is just a number that divides into another number without any remainder.
The factors of 23285 are: 1 5 4657 23285
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 23285 and 10000 is: 5

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 5 in this case.
23285 ÷ 5/10000 ÷ 5
  =  
4657/2000


Great Work! We've just determined that 2.3285 as a fraction equals 23285/10000 or 4657/2000 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 proper fractions?

Proper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). Example 2/3

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 decimal?

A decimal is a number that includes a decimal point, representing a fraction of a whole. For example, 0.5 represents 1/2.

What is an exponent?

An exponent refers to the number of times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

What is a terminating decimal?

A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.35 and 3.5 are terminating decimals.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.
