How 0.375 becomes 3/8
- 3 decimal places → over 1000
- 375/1000
- GCF(375, 1000) = 125
- 3/8
Write the digits over 10, 100, 1000 … — one zero per decimal place — then divide both by their greatest common factor.

FAQ
How do you convert a decimal to a fraction?
Write the decimal over the matching power of 10 — one zero for each decimal place — then simplify. For example, 0.375 has three decimal places, so it becomes 375/1000, which simplifies to 3/8.
How do you simplify a decimal fraction?
Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For 375/1000 the GCF is 125, so 375 ÷ 125 = 3 and 1000 ÷ 125 = 8, giving the simplest form 3/8.
How do you convert a decimal greater than 1 to a fraction?
Convert it the same way and then write it as a mixed number. For example, 1.375 becomes 1375/1000 = 11/8, which as a mixed number is 1 3/8.
