Now, let’s delve into more complex decimals. Take the decimal 3.4162, for instance. To convert this to a fraction in Excel:

1. Separate the whole number from the decimal. Here, 3 is the whole number and 0.4162 is the decimal portion.

2. Convert the decimal part to a fraction. This involves multiplying both the numerator and denominator by a power of ten to remove the decimal place:

• For 0.4162, multiply by 10,000 to get 4,162/10,000.

1. To simplify, divide the fraction by 2 repeatedly until you reach a lowest term:

• This process reveals that 4,162/10,000 simplifies down to around 57/125.

Excel's built-in rounding capabilities will round this further based on the selected format settings.
