0.4375 as a Fraction of an Inch

Answer
7/16 in
0.4375 in = 7/16 in (1/64 in) = 11.1125 mm

0.4375 inches equals 7/16 inch, a standard bolt head, wrench, and socket size found in most SAE tool sets. It also appears as a tap drill size for larger machine threads and a common dowel diameter. Sitting exactly between 3/8 in (0.375 in) and 1/2 in (0.5 in), it rounds to the same 7/16 in whether you use 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 precision.

How the conversion works

  1. Split the decimal. Separate the whole-number part from the decimal part. 0.4375 has no whole-number portion, so the entire value converts into the fraction.
  2. Multiply by precision. Multiply the decimal by the denominator you want, 16, 32, or 64, then round to the nearest whole number. 0.4375 × 16 = 7 exactly, so no rounding is needed.
  3. Simplify. Reduce the fraction using the greatest common divisor of numerator and denominator. 7 and 16 share no common factor, so 7/16 is already in lowest terms.
  4. Verify in mm. Multiply the decimal inches by 25.4 to check the metric value: 0.4375 × 25.4 = 11.1125 mm.
