What is 2.01222... as a Fraction?

2.012 equals 1811900 as a fraction.

How do you turn 2.012 repeating into a fraction?

Detailed Answer:

Step 1: To convert 2.012 repeating into a fraction, begin writing this simple equation:

n = 2.012 (equation 1)

Step 2: Notice that there is 1 digit in the repeating block (2) and 2 digits in the non-repeating part (01). Multiply both sides by 10³ = 1000.

1000 × n = 2012.2 (equation 2)

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

1000 × n = 2012.2
 100 × n = 2.012
 900 × n = 1811

n = 1811900 (answer)

2.012 = 1811900 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 1811900 is also equal to 211900 when expressed as a mixed number.

The repeating decimal 2.012 (vinculum notation) has a repeated block length of 1. It is also represented as 2.01222... (ellipsis notation) which equals approximately 2.0122222 (decimal approximation)(*).

The recurring decimal 2.012 can be written as a ratio of two integers having 1811 as the numerator and 900 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.
