Problems from From decimal numbers to fractions

Define an exact decimal number a, a pure periodic decimal number b and a ultimately periodic decimal number c. Find the equivalent fraction of each one.

See development and solution

Development:

a=2,654

b=13,187^

c=19,1376^

  • The fraction equivalent to a:

26541000=1327500

It is not possible to simplify it any more since 500 only contains the factors 2 and 5, and 1327 cannot be divided by either 2 or by 5.

  • Equivalent fraction to b:

1318713999=13174999

And it is not possible to simplify it any more.

  • Fraction equivalent to c:

11001913,76^=1100191376191399=1894639900

Solution:

a=1327500

b=13174999

c=1894639900
