How the conversion works

  1. Split the decimal. Separate the whole-number part from the decimal part. 0.625 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. 0.625 × 16 = 10 exactly, with no rounding needed.
  3. Simplify. Reduce the fraction using the greatest common divisor of numerator and denominator. 10/16 shares a factor of 2, which simplifies to 5/8.
  4. Verify in mm. Multiply the decimal inches by 25.4 to check the metric equivalent: 0.625 × 25.4 = 15.875 mm.
