When the number has infinitely repeating decimals, then the fraction is obtained by breaking the number into a sum of the non-repeating portion and the repeating portion. The resulting number is then shown divided by the same power of 10 to represent the original number as a fraction. This is because the number is multiplied by a power of 10 such that the decimal point is removed. When the number has no repeating decimal portion, the numerator of the equivalent fraction is obtained by removing the dot from the number, and the denominator is '1' followed by the same number of 0's as the length of the decimal portion.įor example the number 12.4 is equal to 124 divided by 10, so the equivalent fraction is 124/10, which, when simplified, becomes 62/5.
