    What is 99.992 as a Fraction?

    We have already answered the question for the case decimal fraction in simplest form.

    Yet, by multiplying the denominator and the nominator of our result in simplest form with all integers distinct from zero and one we can generate an infinite amount of fractions equivalent to 12499/125, but not in lowest terms:

    12499/125 = .

    For example, with n = 2 we obtain 24998/250 and with n = -3 we get 37497/375:
    24998/250 = 37497/375 = 12499/125.

    We can thus conclude that the question under consideration does not have a single answer, but an indefinite amount of possibilities.
