This instructable is to instruct how to convert decimals to fractions. Although the easiest way is to type the decimal into a scientific calculator, hit =, the hit the fraction key, but not very many people carry a calculator in the back pocket. So.. Onwards Mathematicians!!!!

Step 1: Converting rational decimals to fractions

To convert a rational decimal number (rational number= number that can be written exactly as a fraction) one simply has to draw a vinculum or fraction bar, and for the denominator count the places held after the decimal point, then put that amount of zeros after a one. For the numerator, just put the numbers after the decimal point.

eg

0.13579 = 13579 / 100000

0.00520347 = 520347 / 100000000
