1. What is Fraction Conversion?

Fraction conversion involves transforming a fraction (a/b) into other numerical representations like decimals and percentages. This is fundamental in mathematics and everyday calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these simple formulas:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (top number of the fraction)
• \( b \) — Denominator (bottom number of the fraction)

Explanation: The decimal form is obtained by simple division, while the percentage form multiplies the decimal by 100.

3. Importance of Fraction Conversion

Details: Converting fractions to decimals and percentages is essential for comparing values, statistical analysis, financial calculations, and many real-world applications where different number formats are needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any positive numerator and any positive denominator (cannot be zero). The calculator will instantly show both decimal and percentage equivalents.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The denominator must be a positive number.

Q2: How many decimal places are shown?
A: The calculator shows 4 decimal places for the decimal form and 2 decimal places for the percentage.

Q3: Can I convert mixed numbers?
A: First convert the mixed number to an improper fraction (e.g., 1½ becomes 3/2), then use the calculator.

Q4: Why is percentage useful?
A: Percentages are easier to understand and compare in many real-world contexts like grades, statistics, and financial rates.

Q5: Can this calculator reduce fractions?
A: No, this calculator only converts to decimal and percentage forms. For fraction reduction, you would need a different tool.
