The Answer: 13/50 Step in step: 1. The decimal number: =0.26 2. You need to write it as a fraction: 0.26/1 3. You multiply 100 to both sides of the numerator: (0.26 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 26 4. To make 26/100 to the lowest you need to find least common multiple: LCM is 2 for 26/100 5. You need to divide the numerator & denominator by 2 : 26/100 = (26/2) / (100 / 2) = 13/50
