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 the simple division formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (unitless)
• \( b \) — Denominator (unitless)

Explanation: The division operation converts the fraction into its decimal representation.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal conversions are essential for various mathematical operations, measurements, and real-world applications where decimal numbers are preferred over fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator values. The denominator must be non-zero. The calculator will automatically compute the decimal equivalent.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if the denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.

Q2: How precise are the results?
A: Results are rounded to 6 decimal places for readability.

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

Q4: What about repeating decimals?
A: The calculator shows the decimal approximation. Repeating decimals may be truncated.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be negative, following standard division rules.
