1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fractional number (a/b) to its equivalent decimal representation by dividing the numerator (a) by the denominator (b).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple division formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The calculator performs the division of numerator by denominator to give the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal forms are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and real-world applications. Many mathematical operations and computer systems prefer decimal numbers over fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The result will be displayed with up to 6 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I get a repeating decimal?
A: The calculator shows the decimal rounded to 6 places. Repeating decimals will be truncated at 6 decimal places.

Q2: Can I enter negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can enter negative numbers for either numerator or denominator (but not both). The result will follow standard division rules.

Q3: What's the maximum number of decimal places shown?
A: The calculator shows up to 6 decimal places for precision.

Q4: What happens if I enter zero for denominator?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will show an error message.

Q5: Can I enter decimal numbers as numerator or denominator?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal numbers for both numerator and denominator.
