Given: 36.2%
36.2% =
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 36.2
Simplify
Greatest Common Factor of 362 and 1,000: GCF(362, 1,000) = 2
Therefore, 36.2% converted to a fraction: 36.2% =
36.2% =
36.2 /100
Clear the decimal in the numerator:
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 (101) since there is 1 digit to the right of the decimal point in 36.2
36.2/100
= 36.2 * 10/100 * 10
= 362/1,000
Simplify
362/1,000
if possible:Greatest Common Factor of 362 and 1,000: GCF(362, 1,000) = 2
362/1,000
= 362 ÷ 2/1,000 ÷ 2
= 181/500
in simplest formTherefore, 36.2% converted to a fraction: 36.2% =
181/500
