It&#8217;s one of the most common conversion questions in basic math, and thankfully, one of the easiest to solve once you know the trick. In this guide, we&#8217;ll break down exactly what 1.6 is as a fraction, walk through the simplification process, and then tackle a trickier cousin: 1.6 repeating as a fraction. Along the way, you&#8217;ll find clean infographics and tables that make every step easy to visualize.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

That&#8217;s why multiplying 1.6 by 10 clears the decimal point cleanly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Repeating decimals need a different approach because no power of 10 will ever make them whole \u2014 the digits keep going forever.

Any number that can be written as a fraction of two integers \u2014 like 8\/5 \u2014 is a rational number.
