1. What Is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction (a/b) into 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 the division of the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent.

3. Importance of Fraction Conversion

Details: Converting fractions to decimals is essential for various mathematical operations, measurements, and real-world applications where decimal numbers are more practical than fractions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator as positive or negative numbers. The denominator cannot be zero. The result will be displayed with up to 4 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I convert improper fractions?
A: Yes, the calculator works with both proper and improper fractions.

Q2: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not compute a result if denominator is zero.

Q3: How many decimal places are shown?
A: The result is rounded to 4 decimal places for clarity.

Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can use negative numbers for either numerator or denominator.

Q5: What about repeating decimals?
A: The calculator shows the decimal approximation. Repeating decimals will be rounded.
