1. What is the Fraction to Percentage Formula?

The fraction to percentage formula converts any fraction into its equivalent percentage representation. This is useful for comparing proportions and understanding ratios in a more intuitive percentage format.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (the part)
• \( b \) — Denominator (the whole)
• \( p \) — Resulting percentage

Explanation: The formula divides the part by the whole and multiplies by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage.

3. Importance of Percentage Calculation

Details: Percentages provide a standardized way to compare fractions of different sizes and are widely used in statistics, finance, science, and everyday life.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator values. The denominator must be greater than zero. The result will be shown as a percentage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires the denominator to be greater than zero.

Q2: Can I use decimal numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be decimal numbers for precise calculations.

Q3: What's the difference between fraction and percentage?
A: A fraction shows parts per whole (e.g., 1/4), while a percentage shows parts per hundred (e.g., 25%).

Q4: How do I convert percentage back to fraction?
A: Divide the percentage by 100 and simplify (e.g., 75% = 75/100 = 3/4).

Q5: Why multiply by 100?
A: Multiplying by 100 converts the decimal to a percentage (e.g., 0.25 becomes 25%).
