Decimal Conversion to Fraction

The trick with converting decimals is to know the smallest 'place value' and making that the bottom of the fraction (denominator).

Review on Place Value
For the number 45,268.137

• The four is in the tens of thousands
• The five is in the thousands
• The two is in the hundreds
• The six is in the tens
• The eight is in the ones (units)
• The one is in the tenths (as in fraction over ten)
• The three is in the hundredths (as in fraction over one hundred)
• The seven is in the thousandths (as in fraction over one thousand)

Another way to say this number is "forty five thousand, two hundred and six eight and 137/1000"
