1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fractional number (a/b) into its decimal equivalent. This is useful for calculations, comparisons, and various mathematical operations where decimal representation is preferred.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number in the fraction (dividend)
• Denominator — The bottom number in the fraction (divisor)

Explanation: The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent. The result is rounded to 6 decimal places for precision.

3. Importance of Decimal Conversion

Details: Decimal numbers are often easier to work with in calculations and comparisons. Many real-world applications (finance, engineering, science) use decimal representation for precision and standardization.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both 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 my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will show an error if you attempt to divide by zero.

Q2: How precise is the result?
A: The result is rounded to 6 decimal places, which is sufficient for most practical applications.

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 will be rounded after 6 decimal places.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator works with negative fractions (either numerator or denominator can be negative).
