<em>Write the number as a fraction of 1 (one):</em>
<h3>0.641 = 0.641/1</h3>
Simultaneously multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 <em>as many times as the digits after the comma (separation between the integer part and the fractional part of the number):</em>
<em>Since we have</em> 3 numbers after the comma, multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000. So,
<h3>0.641/1 = (0.641 x 1,000)/(1 x 1,000) = 641/1,000.</h3>
<em>Note that </em>multiplying by 10 is the same as moving the decimal <em>point one place to the right.</em>
Once this fraction is irreducible, that is, it is in reduced form, <em>we can no longer simplify it.</em><u> The answer is the previous fraction.</u>
