📚 How it works
Formula + step-by-step explanation
This calculator converts between fractions and decimals in both directions. It uses two core ideas:
1) Fraction ➜ Decimal
A fraction is “division in disguise.” To convert a/b into a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator:
- Decimal = numerator ÷ denominator
- Percent = decimal × 100
Example: 3/8 → 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375 → 37.5%.
2) Decimal ➜ Fraction
To turn a decimal into a fraction, the calculator finds a fraction that’s as close as possible to the decimal, while keeping the denominator under your chosen cap (Max denominator slider). This is useful because many decimals are approximations (especially repeating decimals).
Internally, the tool searches for a simplified fraction p/q where q ≤ maxDen and p/q is closest to your decimal.
Rounding control
The Decimal places slider controls how many digits you see in the output. Lower values give a clean, “presentation-ready” number; higher values keep more precision for math and engineering.
Common conversions (quick table)
- 1/2 = 0.5
- 1/4 = 0.25
- 1/5 = 0.2
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 2/3 ≈ 0.6667
- 3/4 = 0.75
When decimals don’t “end”
If your decimal repeats forever (like 0.3333…), there isn’t one “perfect” terminating decimal, but there is an exact fraction (1/3). This tool helps you land on that fraction by allowing a higher max denominator.
Want a fast mental check? If the denominator only has factors of 2 and 5 (like 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20), the decimal will terminate. Otherwise, it often repeats.
❓ FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why does 2/3 show as 0.6667?
2/3 is a repeating decimal: 0.666666… forever. The calculator rounds it based on the “Decimal places” slider. Increase precision to see more 6’s.
-
How does decimal ➜ fraction work?
The tool finds a simplified fraction that best matches your decimal while keeping the denominator under “Max denominator.” Higher max denominators allow closer matches for tricky decimals.
-
What if I enter both a fraction and a decimal?
The selected mode decides which input is used. If you want the other direction, hit “Swap.”
-
Can this handle negative numbers?
Yes. You can convert negative fractions and decimals as expected.
-
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser (fast and private).
