Let F = 0.84181. When F is written as a fraction in lowest terms, the denominator exceeds the numerator by:
- 0.84181 = 84181 - 841 99000 = 83340 99000 = 463 550 Required difference = (550 – 463) = 87.
F = 0.84181
To convert it into fraction, we first multiply it with a number so that the decimal part becomes whole number.
Let us multiply it with 100
F × 100 = 0.84181 × 100 = 84.181
Now, write 84.181 as a fraction by putting it over 100
F = 84.181/100
Now, reduce the fraction in lowest terms
F = 841/100
Now, subtract the numerator and denominator
87= 841 - 100
Hence, the denominator exceeds the numerator by 87.
Therefore, the correct option is Option D . 87
