= 181/500

Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
0.362 = 0.362 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 3 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 0.362 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 362
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000

N / D = 362 / 1000

Simplifying our fraction

= 362/1000

= 181/500

362/1,000. 362 is the numerator and when you say it out loud and you end it with the word thousandths that is the denominator hoped this help.
