1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fractional number (expressed as a numerator divided by a denominator) into its equivalent decimal representation. This conversion is fundamental in mathematics and everyday calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number in a fraction
• Denominator — The bottom number in a fraction (must be greater than zero)

Explanation: The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator to produce the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Converting fractions to decimals is essential for various mathematical operations, financial calculations, measurements, and data analysis where decimal format is preferred or required.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator (any whole number) and denominator (any whole number greater than zero). The calculator will automatically compute the decimal equivalent.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I enter a denominator of zero?
A: Division by zero is mathematically undefined. The calculator requires a denominator of at least 1.

Q2: How many decimal places does the calculator show?
A: The calculator shows results rounded to 6 decimal places for clarity and precision.

Q3: Can I convert improper fractions?
A: Yes, the calculator works with both proper and improper fractions.

Q4: What about repeating decimals?
A: The calculator shows the rounded decimal value. Some fractions produce repeating decimals which are approximated.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: The calculator is designed for positive numbers only, as specified by the input constraints.
