1. What is the Fraction to Percentage Calculator?

This calculator converts a fraction (a/b) to its equivalent percentage value. It's useful for quickly determining what portion one quantity is of another in percentage terms.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple percentage formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (the part)
• \( b \) — Denominator (the whole)

Explanation: The formula divides the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal value, then multiplies by 100 to convert to percentage.

3. Importance of Percentage Calculation

Details: Percentage calculations are fundamental in many areas including finance, statistics, science, and everyday life for comparing proportions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as positive numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The result will be shown as a percentage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not accept a denominator of zero.

Q2: Can I use decimal numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be decimal numbers.

Q3: What's the maximum percentage possible?
A: There's no theoretical maximum. A percentage over 100% means the numerator is larger than the denominator.

Q4: How precise is the calculation?
A: The calculator shows results rounded to 2 decimal places for clarity.

Q5: Can I calculate percentage decrease?
A: Yes, if the numerator is smaller than the denominator, it represents a percentage less than 100%.
