1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fractional number (expressed as a ratio of two integers) to its equivalent decimal representation. This is a fundamental operation in mathematics and everyday calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple division formula:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number in a fraction
• Denominator — The bottom number in a fraction (must not be zero)

Explanation: The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent.

3. Importance of Fraction Conversion

Details: Converting fractions to decimals is essential for easier calculations, comparisons, and practical applications in science, engineering, and daily life.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as whole numbers. The denominator must be a non-zero value.

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: How many decimal places are shown?
A: The calculator shows up to 6 decimal places for precision.

Q3: Can I convert mixed numbers?
A: For mixed numbers, first convert to improper fraction (whole number × denominator + numerator), then use the calculator.

Q4: Does this work for repeating decimals?
A: Yes, though repeating decimals will be rounded to 6 decimal places in the display.

Q5: Why use decimal instead of fraction?
A: Decimals are often easier for calculations, comparisons, and practical measurements.
