How it works

To turn a decimal into a fraction, count the digits after the decimal point, write the digits over 10, 100, 1,000 and so on, then simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. A decimal that ends (terminates) always converts to an exact fraction; a decimal that repeats forever, such as 0.333…, equals a fraction like 1/3.
