Here you can find 0.084 as a fraction, both as decimal fraction and in simplest form as displayed in our converter right below 🙂
How to Convert 0.084 to Decimal?
Now we show you how to change the number using the step by step instructions which can be found on our home page.
There, you can also learn all about the others terms used in this article.
0.084 has 3 decimal places, so we put the decimal digits of 0.084, 084, over 1 followed by the number of zeroes equal to the number of decimal places, 3: 084 = 084/1000.
84 is the nominator and 1000 is the denominator.
We now check if our result is already in the lowest terms by finding the greatest common factor of 84 and 1000, know as gcf of 84 and 1000.
The gcf(84,1000) is 4, so we can conclude that 84/1000 is not yet in simplest form.
To obtain 0.084 as a fraction in simplest form we have to divide both, the nominator as well as denominator, by the gcf(84,1000):
84/1000 =
We write it as 21/250.

What is 0.084 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 21/250, but not in lowest terms:
21/250 =
For example, with n = 2 we obtain 42/500 and with n = -3 we get 63/750:
42/500 = 63/750 = 21/250.
We can thus conclude that the question under consideration does not have a single answer, but an indefinite amount of possibilities.
0.084 Repeating as a Fraction
To find out what is 0.084… as a fraction, identify the repeating sequence or pattern, known as reptend or repetend of 0.084 recurring.
The infinitely-repeated digit sequence of 0.084… can be indicated by three periods.
For example, 0.08444… as a fraction (repeating 4, the last digit) = 19/225.
Alternatively, a vinculum, that is a horizontal line, can be drawn above the repetend of the fraction of 0.084. In addition, one can sometimes see the period enclosed in parentheses ().
Here, we use the overlined notation to denote 0.084 repeating as a fraction:
0.084 = 19/225
0.084 = 14/165
0.084 = 28/333
These results for 0.084 repeating as a fraction are approximations and limited to three digits fractions.
For different periods, higher precision and more results use the calculator below.
