1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction (a/b) to its decimal equivalent by dividing the numerator (a) by the denominator (b). This conversion is fundamental in mathematics and everyday calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple division formula:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number in the fraction (dividend)
• Denominator — The bottom number in the fraction (divisor)

Explanation: The calculator performs the division of the two numbers you provide and displays the result in decimal form.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal numbers are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and measurements. Many real-world applications require decimal representations rather than fractional ones.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as positive or negative numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The result will be rounded to 6 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not display a result if you enter zero as the denominator.

Q2: How precise is the conversion?
A: The calculator shows results rounded to 6 decimal places, which is sufficient for most practical applications.

Q3: Can I convert mixed numbers?
A: First convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, then use the numerator and denominator in the calculator.

Q4: What about repeating decimals?
A: The calculator shows the decimal approximation. Repeating decimals will be rounded after 6 decimal places.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can use negative numbers for either numerator or denominator (but not both, which would give a positive result).
