Rounding

Rounded to a whole number the decimal is 1, to one decimal place 0.7 and to two decimal places 0.65. Round only at the end: rounding halfway through a calculation can change the last digit.

The formula explained

decimal = numerator ÷ denominator. The numerator is the top number and counts the pieces; the denominator is the bottom number and says how many equal pieces make a whole. Dividing the top by the bottom gives the size of the fraction as a decimal.

Another worked example: 13/73 as a decimal

  1. Simplify: 13/73 is already in simplest form
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 13 ÷ 73 = 0.17808219
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.(17808219)

Equivalent fractions

62/95 has the same value as 124/190, 186/285 and 620/950: multiplying the top and bottom by the same number never changes a fraction. All of them give 0.6(526315789473684210) when divided out.

Comparing with nearby fractions

62/95 (0.6526) is bigger than 62/96 (0.6458) and smaller than 63/95 (0.6632). A bigger denominator means smaller pieces, so with the same numerator the fraction gets smaller.

The reciprocal

Flipping the fraction gives 95/62 = 1.5(322580645161290). A number multiplied by its reciprocal is always 1: 62/95 × 95/62 = 1.
