Fraction to Percentage Formula:
From: | To: |
Fraction to percentage 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 probabilities in a more intuitive format.
The calculator uses the fraction to percentage formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the numerator by the denominator and multiplies by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage.
Details: Percentage values are easier to interpret than fractions for most people. They are widely used in statistics, finance, science, and everyday life to express proportions and comparisons.
Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator values. The denominator must be greater than zero. The calculator will automatically compute the percentage equivalent.
Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The denominator must be greater than zero for the calculation to be valid.
Q2: Can I use decimal numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be decimal numbers. The calculator will handle them appropriately.
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: Can percentages be greater than 100%?
A: Yes, when the numerator is greater than the denominator, the percentage will exceed 100%.
Q5: How precise is the calculation?
A: The calculator provides results rounded to 2 decimal places for clarity, but maintains full precision in calculations.
