00:00:00.485 --> 00:00:07.140
Let's see if we can write 0.0727 as a fraction.

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.486
Now let's just think about what places these are in.

00:00:09.486 --> 00:00:12.726
This is in the tenths place...

00:00:12.726 --> 00:00:16.673
This is in the hundredths place...

00:00:16.673 --> 00:00:21.790
This 2 is in the thousandths place...

00:00:21.790 --> 00:00:27.445
and this last 7 is in the ten-thousandths place.

00:00:27.445 --> 00:00:31.073
So, there are a couple of ways we can do this. The way I like to think this,

00:00:31.073 --> 00:00:39.391
this term right here is in the ten-thousandths place, we can view this whole thing right over here as "727 ten-thousandths,"

00:00:39.391 --> 00:00:42.991
cuz this is the smallest place, right over here.

00:00:42.991 --> 00:00:53.271
So let's just rewrite it. This is equal to 727 over 10,000.

00:00:53.271 --> 00:00:58.160
And, we've already written it as a fraction, and I think that's about as simplified as we can get.

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:02.477
This number up here is not divisible by 2, it's not divisible by 5.

00:01:02.477 --> 00:01:09.220
In fact, it's not divisible by 3, which means it's not divisible by 6 or 9. Doesn't even look to be divisible by 7.

00:01:09.220 --> 00:01:13.220
It might be a prime number. But I think we are done.
