Convert the decimal to decimal fraction -
Any decimal can be converted to a decimal fraction by removing the

10^{x}

in the denominator, where

x

represents the number of digits after decimal -

1.25 = \frac{125}{10^{2}} = \frac{125}{100}

the fraction to its smallest -
HCF of

125 & 100

125 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 100 = 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5

HCF

= 5 \times 5 = 25

Subtract HCF from the denominator and -

\frac{125}{100} = \frac{125 \div 25}{100 \div 25} = \frac{5}{4}

Hence,

1.25

in fractional form is

\frac{5}{4} .
