1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction (a/b) to its decimal equivalent by dividing the numerator (a) by the denominator (b). This conversion is fundamental in mathematics and everyday calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

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

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

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal numbers are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and measurements. Many real-world applications require decimal representations rather than fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as positive or negative numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The calculator will automatically handle the division and rounding.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not accept a denominator of zero.

Q2: How many decimal places does the calculator show?
A: The calculator rounds to 6 decimal places for clarity.

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

Q4: Does the calculator simplify fractions?
A: No, this calculator only converts fractions to decimals. It doesn't simplify fractions.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can enter negative numbers for either numerator or denominator.
