Fraction to decimal to percentage conversion is a fundamental mathematical process that transforms fractional values into their decimal and percentage equivalents. This conversion is essential in various fields including mathematics, finance, science, and everyday calculations.
The calculator uses simple mathematical formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal value, then multiplies by 100 to convert to a percentage.
Details: Converting fractions to decimals and percentages is crucial for comparing values, performing calculations, and understanding proportions in real-world applications such as statistics, finance, and measurements.
Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator as whole numbers. The denominator must be greater than zero. The calculator will automatically compute both decimal and percentage equivalents.
Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is mathematically undefined. The calculator requires a denominator greater than zero.
Q2: How many decimal places are shown?
A: The calculator shows 4 decimal places for the decimal result and 2 decimal places for the percentage result.
Q3: Can I convert improper fractions?
A: Yes, the calculator works with both proper and improper fractions.
Q4: What about negative fractions?
A: The calculator is designed for positive values only as negative values could produce unexpected results.
Q5: Can I use this for mixed numbers?
A: For mixed numbers, first convert to an improper fraction before using the calculator.
