Fraction Simplification

After converting a decimal to a fraction, simplification is essential to reduce the fraction to its simplest form. This involves dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) so that the fraction is expressed in its lowest terms.

Decimal-to-Fraction Conversion

This concept involves expressing a decimal number as a fraction by leveraging the base-10 nature of the decimal system. The process includes writing the decimal as a fraction where the denominator is a power of 10 that corresponds to the number of decimal places, and then representing the numerator accordingly.
