How do you turn 1.3530769 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 1.3530769 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 1.3530769 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there are 5 digits in the repeating block (30769) and 2 digits in the non-repeating part (35). Multiply both sides by 10⁷ = 10000000.

10000000 × n = 13530769.30769 (equation 2)

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

10000000 × n = 13530769.30769
     100 × n = 1.3530769
 9999900 × n = 13530634

135306349999900 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 = 135306349999900 = 13530634 ÷ 29999900 ÷ 2 = 67653174999950. So,

1.3530769 = 67653174999950 as the lowest possible fraction.
