We have already answered the question for the cases decimal fraction and in simplest form.
0.998 has 3 decimal places, so we put the decimal digits of 0.998, 998, over 1 followed by the number of zeroes equal to the number of decimal places, 3: 998 = 998/1000.
998 is the nominator and 1000 is the denominator.
We now check if the decimal fraction is already in the lowest terms by finding the greatest common factor of 998 and 1000, know as gcf of 998 and 1000.
The gcf(998,1000) is 2, so we can conclude that 998/1000 is not 0.998 as a fraction in simplest form. To obtain 0.998 as a fraction in simplest form we have to divide both, the nominator as well as denominator, by the gcf(998,1000):
998/1000 =
We write it as 499/500.

What is 0.998 as a Fraction?
We have already answered the question for the cases decimal fraction and in simplest form.Yet, by multiplying the denominator and the nominator of 0.998 as a fraction in simplest form with all integers distinct from zero and one we can generate an infinite amount of fractions equivalent to 499/500, but not in lowest terms:
499/500 =
For example, with n = 2 we obtain 998/1000 and with n = -3 we get 1497/1500:
998/1000 = 1497/1500 = 499/500.
We can thus conclude that the question under consideration does not have a single answer, but an indefinite amount of possibilities.
0.998 Repeating as a Fraction
