How do you turn 1.10769 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 1.10769 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 1.10769 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there are 4 digits in the repeating block (0769) and 1 digit in the non-repeating part (1). Multiply both sides by 10⁵ = 100000.

100000 × n = 110769.0769 (equation 2)

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

100000 × n = 110769.0769
    10 × n = 1.10769
 99990 × n = 110758

11075899990 could be the answer, but it still can be put in the simplest form, i.e., reduced.

To simplify this fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by 2 (the GCF - greatest common factor).

n = 11075899990 = 110758 ÷ 299990 ÷ 2 = 5537949995. So,

1.10769 = 5537949995 as the lowest possible fraction.

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an improper fraction, so we can also express it as a mixed number, thus 5537949995 is also equal to 1538449995 when expressed as a mixed number.

The repeating decimal 1.10769 (vinculum notation) has a repeated block length of 4. It is also represented as 1.1076907690769... (ellipsis notation) which equals approximately 1.107690769076907690769 (decimal approximation)(*).
