    0.46 in its most simple fraction form.

    Here's how to do it.

    0.46

    Since this is already : 0.46/1 we can move them two places to the right to get a whole number.

    0.46 ⇒ 46

    1 ⇒ 100

    46/100

    But wait ... our answer isn't in its most simple form. Let us simplify it!

    46/100

    Lets find a number that both 46 and 100 are divisible by.

    46/2 = 23

    100/2 = 50

    Our final answer: 23/50
