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 fundamental in mathematics and various practical applications.

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 (cannot be zero)

Explanation: The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent, rounding to 6 decimal places for clarity.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal representations are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and real-world applications like measurements and financial calculations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any integer for numerator and any non-zero integer for denominator. The calculator will show the decimal equivalent.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I enter 0 as denominator?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.

Q2: How precise is the conversion?
A: The result is rounded to 6 decimal places, which is sufficient for most practical purposes.

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

Q4: How does this compare to Desmos calculator?
A: This provides the same mathematical conversion as Desmos, with a simplified interface focused specifically on fraction conversion.

Q5: What about repeating decimals?
A: The calculator shows the decimal approximation. Repeating decimals will be rounded after 6 decimal places.
