Express 0.3178 as a rational number in the simplest form of a/b

Let a/b = 0.317831783178.... - (i)

Multiply 10000 both side:-

10000 * a/b = 10000 * 0.317831783178....

10000a/b = 3178.317831783178.... - (ii)

Subtract equation (i) from (ii)

10000a/b = 3178.317831783178....

- a/b = 0.317831783178....

9999a/b = 3178.0

a/b = 3178/9999 Ans.
