Rounding

Rounded to a whole number the decimal is 1, to one decimal place 1.2 and to two decimal places 1.19. 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: 17/62 as a decimal

  1. Simplify: 17/62 is already in simplest form
  2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 17 ÷ 62 = 0.27419355
  3. The digits in brackets repeat forever: 0.2(741935483870967)

Equivalent fractions

82/69 has the same value as 164/138, 246/207 and 820/690: multiplying the top and bottom by the same number never changes a fraction. All of them give 1.(1884057971014492753623) when divided out.

Comparing with nearby fractions
