How do you turn 10.07692 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 10.07692 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 10.07692 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there are 5 digits in the repeating block (07692), so multiply both sides by 10⁵ = 100000.

100000 × n = 1007692.07692 (equation 2)

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

100000 × n = 1007692.07692
     1 × n = 10.07692
 99999 × n = 1007682

100768299999 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 3 (the GCF - greatest common factor).

n = 100768299999 = 1007682 ÷ 399999 ÷ 3 = 33589433333. So,

10.07692 = 33589433333 as the lowest possible fraction.
