26 1/5. Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

26.2=26.21

Multiply to remove 1 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 101 = 10

26.2/1×10/10=262/10

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 262 and 10, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 2,

262÷2/10÷2=131/5

Simplify the improper fraction,

=26 1/5
