What is 0.101888... as a Fraction?

0.1018 equals 9179000 as a fraction.

How do you turn 0.1018 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 0.1018 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 0.1018 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there is 1 digit in the repeating block (8) and 3 digits in the non-repeating part (101). Multiply both sides by 10⁴ = 10000.

10000 × n = 1018.8 (equation 2)

Step 3: Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to cancel the repeating block (or repetend) out.

10000 × n = 1018.8
 1000 × n = 0.1018
 9000 × n = 917

n = 9179000 (answer)

0.1018 = 9179000 as the lowest possible fraction.

The repeating decimal 0.1018 (vinculum notation) has a repeated block length of 1. It is also represented as 0.101888... (ellipsis notation) which equals approximately 0.10188888 (decimal approximation)(*).

The recurring decimal 0.1018 can be written as a ratio of two integers having 917 as the numerator and 9000 as the denominator. So, it is a rational number (named after ratio). It can be shown that a number is rational if its decimal representation is repeating or terminating.
