I don't know the exact way to do it, but if I have decimal 0.625 for example, I then put the decimal numbers over an exponential of 10, like 10000, so I would have the fraction 625/10000, which is equivilant to 0.625. From there, I find common factors and divide down to the simplified answer:

 

625 / 5 =     125 /25 =    / 5 =  

10000 / 5 = 2000 /25 = 80 / 5 = 16

 

So my final answer would be 1/16.

.625 x 1000/1000=

625/1000 = divide both sides by 125

5/8=0.625
