		<description>HOW TO CONVERT A DECIMAL TO A FRACTION

Here's how to convert .234 to a fraction...

    There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write .234 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .234, means.

    Since there are 3 digits in 234, the very last digit is the &#34;1000th&#34; decimal place.

    So we can just say that .234 is the same as 234/1000.

We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 234 and 1000.

So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 117/500.


HOW TO CONVERT A FRACTION TO A DECIMAL:

OK, so there's a few steps to set up here in order to convert 5/17 into a decimal.

    * First off, we'll interpret the fraction bar to mean &#34;divided by.&#34; This means that 5/17 is the same as 5 divided by 17.

    * Second, you have requested to see 3 decimal places in your answer, so we'll write the 5 as 5.000 instead (a 5 with 3 zeros after the decimal point).

    * Now, we'll just do what the fraction bar says: divide 5.000 by 17:

5/17 = .294&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;These sites give you the answers.

		<description>Buy a graphing calculator.

Type in the decimal.
Press ENTER.

Press MATH.
Go to the first item on the first menu, it should say: &#62;Frac.

Your entry should look like: Ans&#62;Frac.

Press ENTER.

You now have a fraction!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;a calculator</description>
