Before you understand; How to convert Decimal to fraction, You must know:

What are Decimal Places ?
What is a Decimal Point ?
What are Fractions ?

Steps to convert decimal to fraction


In order to convert decimal into fraction; follow the following steps:
  • Step 1: Numerator of fraction is equal to decimal (without the decimal point)
  • Step 2: Find number of Decimal Place in the given decimal
  • Step 3: Denominator of fraction is equal to 1 followed by as many number of zero as there are decimal place.




    Example: Convert decimal 4.2 into fraction.

    Solution: Follow the steps as explained above:

    Step 1: Numerator of fraction is equal to decimal (without the decimal point) and we get: Numerator = 42

    Step 2 : Find number of Decimal Place in the given decimal and we get:
    Decimals Places = one only

    Step 3: Denominator of fraction is equal to 1 followed by as many number of zero as there are decimal places.
    As calculated in step 2, there is only one decimal place, so we will write one zero next to digit 1 and we get:
    Denominator = 10

    Now, we know that:
    Fraction = Numerator
    Denominator

    Put the values of numerator and denominator from step 1 & Step 3 and we get:
    Fraction = 42
    10

    Hence, decimal 4.2 is equal to Fraction 42
    10
