# Some facts

• To convert a decimal fraction to a normal fraction we can use the following algorithm:
• 1. Denominator (number below fraction bar):
• We are looking for a decimal point in our number.
• We count how many digits follow the comma (on the right-hand side).
• We write the number 1, and then add to it as many zeros as digits found after the decimal point in previous step..
ⓘ Example: We want to convert the number 1.25 to a fraction. We found, that there are two digits after decimal point (2 and 5).
The denominator of our fraction is one following by two zeros:
$1.25 = \frac{\text{numerator}}{\text{denominator}} = \frac{...}{100}$
• 2. Numerator (number above the fraction bar) .
• We remove the decimal point.
• We write all digits next to each other.
• Created sequence of digits is the searched numerator.
ⓘ Example: Again, we want to convert the number 1.25 to a fraction. After removing the comma we get a series of digits: one (1), two (2) and five (5).
The numerator of our fraction is one hundred twenty five (125), and the whole fraction is one hundred twenty five hundredths:
$1.25 = \frac{\text{numerator}}{\text{denominator}} = \frac{125}{100}$
