1. What Is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction (a number expressed as a ratio of two integers) into its equivalent decimal representation. This is done by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple division formula:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number in a fraction
• Denominator — The bottom number in a fraction

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

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal representations are often easier to work with in calculations, comparisons, and real-world applications. Many mathematical operations and measurements use decimal notation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any positive integer for numerator. Denominator must be a positive integer greater than 0. The calculator will show the decimal equivalent rounded to 4 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The denominator must always be a positive number.

Q2: How precise is the result?
A: Results are rounded to 4 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 approximate decimal value. Repeating decimals will be rounded.

Q5: Why convert fractions to decimals?
A: Decimals are often easier for calculations, comparisons, and practical applications like measurements.
