Step-by-step solution

The problem

0.96875

  1. Write the digits over 100,000. 0.96875 has 5 decimal places, so put the digits (without the point) over 1 followed by 5 zeros.

    = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{96{,}875}{100{,}000}}

  2. Simplify. Write both as prime factors:\begin{aligned} 96{,}875 &= 5^{5} \times 31 \\[6pt] 100{,}000 &= 2^{5} \times 5^{5} \end{aligned}The factors they share give the greatest common factor (GCF): \displaystyle 5^{5} = 3125. Divide the top and bottom by 3125.

    = \frac{96{,}875 \div 3125}{100{,}000 \div 3125} = \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{31}{32}}

All the working together

\begin{aligned} &0.96875 \\[8pt] &= \frac{96{,}875}{100{,}000} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{over 100,000}} \\[8pt] &= \frac{96{,}875 \div 3125}{100{,}000 \div 3125} && \textcolor{#5b6660}{\textsf{simplify}} \\[8pt] &= \textcolor{#0b5c56}{\frac{31}{32}}\end{aligned}
