Converting 0.14 to Fraction Notation
In decimal notation, 0.14 is a familiar number, but have you ever wondered what it looks like in fraction notation? In this article, we'll explore how to convert 0.14 to a fraction.
What is Fraction Notation?
Fraction notation is a way of expressing a number as a ratio of two integers, a numerator and a denominator. For example, the fraction 3/4 represents the number of equal parts of a whole, where the numerator 3 represents the number of parts and the denominator 4 represents the total number of parts.
Converting 0.14 to a Fraction
To convert 0.14 to a fraction, we can use the following steps:
- Divide by 100: Since 0.14 is a decimal number, we can divide it by 100 to get rid of the decimal point.
0.14 ÷ 100 = 14/100
- Simplify the Fraction: We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
The GCD of 14 and 100 is 2, so we can divide both numbers by 2.
14 ÷ 2 = 7 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Therefore, the simplified fraction is:
7/50
The Result
And there you have it! 0.14 in fraction notation is equal to 7/50. This fraction represents the same value as the decimal number 0.14, but in a different notation.
