Fraction to percent conversion is a mathematical operation that converts a fraction (a/b) into an equivalent percentage value. This is commonly used to express proportions, ratios, and fractions in a more intuitive percentage format.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the numerator by the denominator and multiplies by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage.
Details: Percentages are widely used in statistics, finance, science, and everyday life to compare proportions and understand relative quantities more easily than fractions.
Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as positive numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The result will be shown as a percentage with two decimal places.
Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not produce a result if denominator is zero.
Q2: Can I use decimal numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be decimal numbers.
Q3: What's the difference between fraction and percentage?
A: A fraction represents a part of a whole (a/b), while a percentage represents parts per hundred (p%).
Q4: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculator provides results rounded to two decimal places for most practical purposes.
Q5: Can percentages be greater than 100%?
A: Yes, when the numerator is larger than the denominator, the percentage will exceed 100%.
