#4588/5#

Explanation:

The number given = #917.6#

We can see that there is only #1# digit after the decimal, at the tenth place.

Therefore, #917.6# can be written as = #9176/10#
Note: If there are #2# digits after the decimal then divide by #100# and if #3# digits after the decimal, then divide by #1000# and so on to convert to fraction. The decimal gets removed when the number is divided #1/10, 1/100, 1/1000#, and so on.

So, #9176/10# = #cancel9176^4588/cancel10^5# = #4588/5#

This is the simplest form of fraction as both numerator and denominator cannot be divided by any common number except #1#.
