What is 1 4/196 as a decimal?

It's very common when learning about fractions to want to know how convert a mixed fraction like 1 4/196 into a decimal. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to turn any fraction into a decimal really easily. Let's take a look!

Before we get started in the fraction to decimal conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line. We'll use this later in the tutorial.

When we are using mixed fractions, we have a whole number (in this case 1) and a fractional part (4/196). So what we can do here to convert the mixed fraction to a decimal, is first convert it to an improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than the denominator) and then from there convert the improper fraction into a decimal/

Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator

1 x 196 = 196

Step 2: Add the result of step 1 to the numerator

196 + 4 = 200

Step 3: Divide the result of step 2 by the denominator

200 ÷ 196 = 1.0204081632653

So the answer is that 1 4/196 as a decimal is 1.0204081632653.

And that is is all there is to converting 1 4/196 to a decimal. We convert it to an improper fraction which, in this case, is 200/196 and then we divide the new numerator (200) by the denominator to get our answer.
