Step-by-step
- Decimal has 3 digits after the point → denominator = 10^3 = 1000.
- Numerator = 0.625 × 1000 = 625.
- Simplify by dividing both by gcd(625, 1000) = 125 → 5/8.

About this calculator
A terminating decimal can be converted to a fraction by reading the digits after the decimal point as a numerator and using a power of ten as the denominator, then simplifying. 0.625 = 625/1000, which simplifies (dividing both by 125) to 5/8. For repeating decimals, see the dedicated repeating-decimal-to-fraction approach (not in this tool).
