Calculate 0.04 as a fraction

To convert 0.04 into a fraction, here are the steps.

Any number can be written as a fraction by using 1 as the denominator. So, we converted 0.375 into a fraction with a denominator of 1.

0.04 =
0.04/1

Then, we removed the decimal part from the numerator to make it a whole number. Since 0.375 has 2 digits after the decimal point, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100.

0.04 × 100/1 × 100
=
4/100

The next step is to make this fraction simpler because the biggest common factor (BCF) of 4 and 100 is 4. So, to simplify the fraction, we have to divide both the top and bottom numbers by 4.

4 ÷ 4/100 ÷ 4
=
1/25

That's it! The simplest form of 0.04 as a fraction is 1/25.
