The fraction is a part of the whole number. The whole can be a region or a complete collection. The word fraction is being arrived from the Latin word fractio, which means to break. In the earliest and oldest civilization of Egypt the people of that time used to study fractions and solve multiple problems related to the division of the food division of the supplies and also sometimes the division and the money related issues with the help of fraction method. So, how to calculate the numeric value 0.1875 as a fraction.
The answer to the same question of how to solve the 0.1875 as a fraction is being mentioned in the article below. But before that let us understand the major question related to it.
So, what exactly is the fraction?
In simple words in the mathematical subject the fractions are being represented as a numeric value which is being defined as a part of the whole numeric value.
Basically, a fraction is a portion or a small part or a section of the whole of the particular thing or a number.
Let us understand with an example:
So, if you take a pizza or if you take a chapati or even if you take a normal wooden piece. Basically, when you cut it in multiple pieces and you take out one of the pieces out of it then that particular one piece is known to be the fraction.
Simply if we are taking a pizza, and cutting the same into 5 different pieces then we are taking one piece out of those 5 pieces. So in simple terms we can say that one by 5 is the fraction for that pizza.
But now, the question that comes is how to solve the numerical terms of 0.1875 as a fraction?
Basically, in order to make the number or the numeric term in the fraction, we need to make the number in the form of numerator and denominator. This simply means that we need to add the same number of zeros in the denominator of the numeric term to the same number of digits present in the numerator after the decimal point. So, for example if three digits are present after the decimal point then we need to add 3 zeros along with the one in front in the denominator. And similarly for digits are available or present in the numerator after the decimal point then we need to add 4 zeros in the denominator along with a one in front of all the zeros.
For the case of 0.1875 as a fraction numeric term, we need to add up 4 zeros along with the digit 1 in the denominator in the front, which makes the numeric term as 1,875 by 10,000. We are also required to remove the decimal point and the zero in first place from the numerator as well so that it will become a whole number.
And if the number 1,875 by 10,000 is further divided and compared in the terms of the mathematical expressions then the number will finally become as 3/16, which is in the lowest form of the same and could not be further divided.
Here are some of the major and common types of the fractions:
1. Proper fraction
2. Improper fraction
3. Unit fraction
4. Mixed fraction
5. Equivalent fraction
6. Like fraction
7. Unlike fraction
We can say that 0.1875 as a fraction can be written as 3/16.
