1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses simple division:

Where:

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

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

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal numbers are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and real-world applications than fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator values. Denominator cannot be zero. The result will be rounded to 6 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I get a repeating decimal?
A: The calculator shows the result rounded to 6 decimal places. Some fractions (like 1/3) will produce infinitely repeating decimals.

Q2: Can I enter negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can enter negative numbers for either numerator or denominator (but not both).

Q3: What's the largest number I can enter?
A: The calculator can handle very large numbers, but extremely large values may lose precision due to floating-point limitations.

Q4: Why does it say "NaN" sometimes?
A: This happens if you try to divide by zero or enter non-numeric values.

Q5: Can I convert decimals back to fractions?
A: This calculator only converts fractions to decimals. For the reverse operation, you would need a different tool.
