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.
