This calculator converts between fractions, percentages, and decimals. It provides all three representations of the same value for easy comparison and understanding.
The calculator uses these mathematical formulas:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator takes the ratio of numerator to denominator and presents it in three different formats that are mathematically equivalent.
Details: Understanding the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages is fundamental in mathematics, science, finance, and everyday life. Different contexts call for different representations.
Tips: Enter any numerator and denominator (b cannot be zero). The calculator will show the fraction, its decimal equivalent, and percentage value.
Q1: Why are these conversions important?
A: Different fields use different representations. Fractions are common in recipes, decimals in scientific work, and percentages in statistics and finance.
Q2: How do I simplify the fraction result?
A: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of numerator and denominator, then divide both by it.
Q3: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.
Q4: How precise are the results?
A: Decimals are shown to 4 decimal places, percentages to 2 decimal places.
Q5: Can I enter negative numbers?
A: Yes, but the denominator must still be non-zero. Negative values will be properly represented in all formats.
