Answer:

Write 0.628 as the fraction:

there are 3 digits after the decimal point, we convert into a fraction under sdenimonator 1000 to remove the decimal point

0.628 = 628/1000

we simplify

we calculate the gcd:

1000 = 1×628 + 372

628 = 1×372 + 256

372 = 1×256 + 116

256 = 2×116 + 24

116 = 4×24 + 20

24 = 1×20 + 4

20 = 5×4 + 0

The GCD is equal to the last non-zero remainder: 4.

we simplify 628/1000 =157*4/250*4 = 157/250

0.628 convert to fraction: 157/250
