How to write 0.159 as a Fraction? A decimal to fraction conversion is the process of representing a decimal number as a fraction. In a fraction, the top number (numerator) represents the part of a whole, and the bottom number (denominator) represents the whole. Converting a decimal to a fraction involves expressing the decimal as a ratio of two numbers, with the denominator being a power of 10. The resulting fraction is usually in its simplest form, which means that the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

To conversion Decimal to Fraction follow these steps, which is given below-

  1. Take the decimal value for calculation.
  2. Then, Divided that decimal value by 1, like this
    decimal/1
  3. Multiply both numerator and denominator by 10 for every number after the decimal point.
  4. Then, Find the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) to convert its lowest terms.
  5. Simplify or reduce the fraction.

For calculation, here's how to convert 0.159 as a Fraction using the formula above, step by step instructions are given below

  1. Take only after the decimal point part for calculation.
    .159
  2. Then, divide that value by 1.
    .159/1
  3. Multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 digits after the decimal point so that is 103 = 1000).
    .159 × 1000/1 × 1000
    =
    159/1000
    ;
  4. To simplify
    159/1000
    its lowest terms, find GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) for 159 & 1000, which is 1. There is no simplest form of the above value for GCD to be 1. So you can skip step 4 and step 5 calculation. Here's How to Find GCD of 159 and 1000?
    159/1/1000/1
  5. After simplify or reduce the fraction.
