0.2 In fraction form
Introduction
The number 0.2 is a decimal number since it has a decimal point. The decimals can be converted to fraction number. Conversion of fraction from decimal value is very simple. Fraction is a number that consists of numerator part and denominator part. Fractions are termed as proper fractions, improper fractions and mixed fractions. In proper fraction denominator value is greater than numerator. In improper fraction the numerator value will be greater than denominator value. Mixed fraction means a whole number with proper fraction. The conversion of decimal number 0.2 as a fraction number is very simple. We will get a proper fraction when we convert 0.2 in fraction form.

0.2 In fraction form
The following are the steps to convert decimal number 0.2 in fraction form
- Count the numbers after the decimal point.
- We have only one digit after the decimal point. So multiply 0.2 with 10 and divide by 10.
- The number of digits after the decimal point represents the number to be multiplied with it. Example if there are 2 digits after decimal point we have to multiply with 100 and divide the number with 100.
- Similarly if there are 3 digits given after decimal point then we have to multiply with 1000 and divide by 1000. The answer must be simplified to the least value.
- This multiplication is done to move the decimal point to the right side end.
- Multiply 0.2 with 10 it becomes 2 and divide by 10. Now it becomes `2/10` which is a proper fraction. This proper fraction can be simplified to least form.
