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

5.6 has 1 decimal place, so we put the decimal digit of 5.6, 6, over 1 followed by the number of zeroes equal to the number of decimal places, 1: 6 = 6/10. We add 5 as 50/10 and get:

5.6 as decimal fraction = 56/10

56 is the nominator and 10 is the denominator.

We now check if the decimal fraction is already in the lowest terms by finding the greatest common factor of 56 and 10, know as gcf of 56 and 10.

The gcf(56,10) is 2, so we can conclude that 56/10 is not 5.6 as a fraction in simplest form. To obtain 5.6 as a fraction in simplest form we have to divide both, the nominator as well as denominator, by the gcf(56,10):

56/10 = = =

We write it as 28/5.5.6 as a fraction in its lowest terms is 28/5

What is 5.6 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 5.6 as a fraction in simplest form with all integers distinct from zero and one we can generate an infinite amount of fractions equivalent to 28/5, but not in lowest terms:

28/5 = .

For example, with n = 2 we obtain 56/10 and with n = -3 we get 84/15:
56/10 = 84/15 = 28/5.

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

5.6 Repeating as a Fraction

To find out what is 5.6… as a fraction, identify the repeating sequence or pattern, known as reptend or repetend of 5.6 recurring.
